shortDOI Service (opens in new tab)

The shortDOI Service is a shortening service that creates aliases for existing DOI® names, of the form 10/abcde. These aliases are short whereas DOI names are sometimes very long strings. It is a public service, open to anyone and offered by the DOI Foundation. The service will either create a new shortDOI, or return the existing shortDOI if one has already been created. The DOI Foundation's web resolver at will treat the shortDOI identically to the corresponding DOI name.
