# Build a reference list with full citation details from DOIs

**Use case:** 

Paste the DOIs from your notes or reading list and get one clean citation row per DOI: title, authors with ORCID, journal or book, volume, issue, pages, exact publication date and ISSN/ISBN, read from the official Crossref, DataCite and JaLC APIs. Ready to import into your reference manager as CSV or JSON.

## How it works

### 1. Sign up on Apify or log in

The DOI Metadata & Bibliography Enrichment Actor is ready to run with the inputs already set for "Build a reference list with full citation details from DOIs". [Sign up or log in](https://console.apify.com/create-task-from-example/INB6bzNiwfrLq3ErJ) and you'll land in Apify Console with a copy of this exact task.

### 2. Start the "Build a reference list with full citation details from DOIs" task

The DOI Metadata & Bibliography Enrichment Actor will start running based on the input automatically. You can also change all the input fields, like DOIs, to match your specific use case.

### 3. Receive the "Build a reference list with full citation details from DOIs" output

Monitor the progress in real time. You will be notified as soon as your dataset is complete and ready for review. Each result includes data such as input, status, agency, and more.

### 4. Integrate into your workflow

The final output is delivered in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, ready to be plugged into your workflow. You can also [run the "Build a reference list with full citation details from DOIs" task via API](https://apify.com/cliqtomedia/doi-bibliography-enrichment.md).

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [DOI Metadata & Bibliography Enrichment](https://apify.com/cliqtomedia/doi-bibliography-enrichment.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/cliqtomedia/doi-bibliography-enrichment.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/cliqtomedia/doi-bibliography-enrichment.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
