Overview

CrossRef labs has added two new content types to dx.doi.org resolution for CrossRef DOIs. These allow anyone to retrieve DOI bibliographic metadata as formatted bibliographic entries. To perform the formatting we're using the citation style language processor, citeproc-js which supports a shed load of citation styles and locales. In fact, all the styles and locales found in the CSL repositories, including many common styles such as bibtex, apa, ieee, harvard, vancouver and chicago are supported.

First off, if you'd like to try citation formatting without using content negotiation, there's a simple web UI that allows input of a DOI, style and locale selection.

See the announcement of the service for further details as well as examples of how to use it programatically.
