A comment on DOI use on Reddit – results from recent dump. Parent comment
Most readers on the blog know all about DOIs so that section wasn't meant to describe everything about them. I welcome feedback though.
What happens if doi.org goes down? In the first instance you can use an alternative resolver, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.5555/12345678 can be resolved against http://dx.crossref.org/10.5555/12345678
In the second instance, we're as open as possible about it and discuss the shortcomings of the system! It's not perfect, but nothing is. We think it's the best solution.
