Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are retrieved using the 'CrossRef' application programming interface (API) , and references are formatted following DOI-based citation standards as described by Paskin (2010) and the 'citation.doi.org' service . The package is intended to simplify reference preparation for scientific journal submissions.
