doilinker

{doilinker} allows you to link related DOIs. Usually this is to find the published version of a preprint (or the reverse). It does this by querying the Crossref database using {rcrossref} and matching DOIs using the method described by Cabanac, Oikonomidi and Boutron (see citation below).
