Problem
It would be simplest to store references to articles as an ID number which can be looked up elsewhere. Here are some possibilities in order of preference:
- DOI or Handle (*)
- Pubmed ID (**)
- SICI numbers, if the publisher uses it for a stable URL
- Biodiversity Heritage Library URL of the article
- constructed SICI ID (***)
(*) I doubt that there are articles with both a DOI *and* a handle, but if you encounter one, use the DOI. (**) There aren't many articles with Pubmed ID that lack a DOI, but it's possible for pre-1998 pubs. (***) Jim & Hilmar looking into interface to help do this
