[Dspace-general] "Citation" Input Box

[SUGITA Shigeki]

Hi,

We have issn, e-issn, jtitle, volume, issue, spage, epage, doi(of published
version) separately for linking from link resolvers.

ex. http://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/handle/2115/16870?locale=en

Also see our project named AIRway at https://dspace.gla.ac.uk/handle/1905/659

Project homepage will be opened soon (now only in Japanese).
