Retrieving DOI from Title, Author & Year

[kotenok-xyz]

Dear All,

I want to retrieve DOI for a publication:

Andries et al. (2012). Comparison of the gene transfer efficiency of mRNA/GL67 and pDNA/GL67 complexes in respiratory cells.

I tried different queries to combine Title, Author & Year, but most of the cases I received plenty of results (while I need only 1 correct DOI per publication). Is it possible to get only 1 DOI as the result?

https://api.crossref.org/works?query.title=Comparison%20of%20the%20gene%20transfer%20efficiency%20of%20mRNA/GL67%20and%20pDNA/GL67%20complexes%20in%20respiratory%20cells&query.author=Andries+et+al

Thank you very much!

If you are trying to match a DOI to a reference then I would recommend trying these tools for that purpose:
http://search.crossref.org/references
https://doi.crossref.org/simpleTextQuery

The simpleTextQuery does not work for my dataset because it is not in good format.
Can I use the first search link for about 4000 references without DOIs?

Add &rows=1 to the query parameters.
