Very important notice for academic cybersecurity. Could CrossRef made bulk doi validation tools as browser plugins, VSIX, etc., for pdfs, webpages, etc? They could apply the DOI format rules to all DOI-like links and perhaps even pre-validate DOIs before the user (human or bot) clicks on them.
Fake DOI-like strings are increasingly common. Learn how to check whether a DOI is valid, how prefixes work, and more. https://tinyurl.com/599yk8yv
