    <p>I want to retrieve bibtex data (for building a bibliography) by sending a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to <a href="http://www.crossref.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.crossref.org</a> from within matlab. </p> <p>The crossref API suggests something like this:</p> <pre><code>curl -LH "Accept: text/bibliography; style=bibtex" http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nrd842 </code></pre> <p>based on <a href="http://www.crossref.org/CrossTech/2011/11/turning_dois_into_formatted_ci.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> source.</p> <p>Another example from <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6848/automatically-dereference-doi-to-bib">here</a> suggests the following in <code>ruby</code>:</p> <pre><code>open("http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nrd842","Accept" =&gt; "text/bibliography; style=bibtex"){|f| f.each {|line| print line}} </code></pre> <p>Although I've heard ruby rocks I want to do this in matlab and have no clue how to translate the ruby message or interpret the crossref command. </p> <p>The following is what I have so far to send a doi to crossref and retrieve data in xml (in variable <code>retdat</code>), but not bibtex, format:</p> <pre><code>clear clc doi = '10.1038/nrd842'; URL_PATTERN = 'http://dx.doi.org/%s'; fetchurl = sprintf(URL_PATTERN,doi); numinputs = 1; www = java.net.URL(fetchurl); is = www.openStream; %Read stream of data isr = java.io.InputStreamReader(is); br = java.io.BufferedReader(isr); %Parse return data retdat = []; next_line = toCharArray(br.readLine)'; %First line contains headings, determine length %Loop through data while ischar(next_line) retdat = [retdat, 13, next_line]; tmp = br.readLine; try next_line = toCharArray(tmp)'; if strcmp(next_line,'M END') next_line = []; break end catch break; end end %Cleanup java objects br.close; isr.close; is.close; </code></pre> <p>Help translating the ruby statement to something matlab can send using a script such as that posted to establish the communication with crossref would be greatly appreciated. </p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>Additional constraints include backward compatibility of the code (back at least to R14) :>(. Also, no use of ruby, since that solves the problem but is not a "matlab" solution, see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17934732/open-url-to-resolve-doi-with-ruby-from-dos-command-line/17935584?noredirect=1#comment26207928_17935584">here</a> for how to invoke ruby from matlab via <code>system('ruby script.rb')</code>. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
