I'm currently writing my thesis and there is a problem with DOI numbers and my preferred citation style unsrtdin.

The problem is that every book with DOI leads to a double link in the bib. When I use articleI get one link and the DOI separately printed.

I would appreciate this "article" behavior for book as well.

What can I do to avoid this? It seems to be general problem with this style. It is not depending on the machine, document or what ever.

Hope, you can help me!

Wishes, Mike

The bib:

    edition = {},

    doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-16915-1}
},


@ARTICLE{euv-tomie-tin,
    author = {T. Tomie},
    title = {Tin laser-produced plasma as the light source for extreme ultraviolet lithography high-volume manufacturing: history, ideal plasma, present status, and prospects},
    journal = {Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS},
    volume = {11},
    organization = {},
    year = {2012},
    number = {2},
    pages = {021109-1-021109-9},

    issn = {1932-5150},
    doi = {10.1117/1.JMM.11.2.021109}
},

What I mean with "double links to DOI database" I mean the following shown in the pictures. DOI link and DOI number separately shown DOI link is shown twice

I would appreciate at least the same behavior we get for articles for books as well. If not possible or to complicated, I would appreciate only the one DOI link shown for books. Can anybody help me?

  • Please edit your posting to provide an example of an entry of type @book with a field of type doi that's giving you grief when used with the unsrtdin bib style.

  • What does double link in the bib mean? Construct a minimal example to illustrate your point, please.

Upon referring unsrtdin.bst file from this link, I found the similar kind of definition for URL & DOI under function BOOK.

Definition for book:

FUNCTION {book}
{ output.bibitem
  ...
  format.doi output
  format.url output
  ...
}

Both format.doi & format.url's definition are transform into \URL. Expansion for format.doi & format.url in below:

FUNCTION {format.doi}
{ doi empty$
    { "" }
    { new.block "\url{http://dx.doi.org/" doi * "}" * }
  if$
}

FUNCTION {format.url}
{ urn missing$
     { doi missing$
          { url empty$
             { "" }
             { type empty$ NOT
                 { type #-1 #4 substring$ "mail" =
                   type #1 #4 substring$ "Mail" =
                   OR
                      { type$ "incollection" =
                          { "" }
                          { "\,Absenderadresse: \url{" url * "}" * }
                        if$ }
                      { "\url{" url * "}" * }%%   evtl. "URL" oder "<...>"
                    if$ }
                  { "\url{" url * "}" * }   %%   evtl. "URL" oder "<...>"
                if$ }
           if$ }
          { format.doi }
        if$ }
      { "\url{http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn=" urn * "}" *}
    if$
}

Due to this reason, you are getting the double URL for book.

Hope booklet type can fulfil your requirement.

Modified BIB:

@BOOKLET{chemie-basiswissen,
    author = {H. P. Latscha and M. Mutz},
    title = {Chemie der Elemente, Chemie-Basiswissen IV},
    edition = {},
    editor = {},
    publisher = {Springer Verlag},
    howpublished = {},
    organization = {},
    year = {2011},
    pages = {188-190},
    note = {},
    isbn = {978-3-642-16914-4},
    doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-16915-1}
},

BBL Output:

\bibitem[2]{chemie-basiswissen}
\textsc{Latscha}, H.~P. ; \textsc{Mutz}, M.:
\newblock \emph{Chemie der Elemente, Chemie-Basiswissen IV}.
\newblock \,Version:\,2011.
\newblock \url{http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-16915-1}. --
\newblock  188--190 S. --
\newblock DOI 10.1007/978--3--642--16915--1.
\newblock ISBN 978--3--642--16914--4

EDIT on July 14, 2017:

FUNCTION {book}
{ output.bibitem
...
  %%format.doi output%%Commented
  format.doi.urn output%%Modified to bring the requested DOI for Reference BOOK.
  format.url output
...
}

EDIT on July 17, 2017:

FUNCTION {book}
{ output.bibitem
  ...
  format.url output
  format.doi.urn output
  ...
}

Hope this helps.

  • Thanks, it helps. It removes the second DOI link but it also removes the publisher and this isn't nice at all, unfortunately. Is thee a possibility to edit this style and save it as an "own style"? What has to be edited to achieve what I'm looking for?

    @Mike1993, yes, format.doi can be changed as format.doi.url within the definition of FUNCTION {book}, in order to bring the requested output. Kindly refer Edit on July 14, 2017 on my answer. Jul 14, 2017 at 9:40

    This is possible by interchanging the position like format.url output format.doi.urn output under FUNCTION {book}. This is also updated in the answer. Please check. Jul 17, 2017 at 9:27

    Yes, thanks. It was helpful. I wasn't aware of the function of the part "format.url output". Thanks.
