Include DOI as plain text?

Can you add the option to add DOI as plain text, just DOI: XXXXXXXXX? For an article or a dissertation it doesn’t look good to have a hyperlink there, and also the label “Available from” is not being localized to other languages.

Hey, Michal, I think it depends on the citation style you use. APA style uses the hyperlink. AMA, MLA, and Chicago styles use plain text. If you are required to use APA style, I have had good luck using AI to create a modified CSL file to fix some current problems with the APA CSL file. I assume it would work for this too

Forgot your second question, Michal - its not entirely clear, but I think you are referring to citing foreign language works (assuming you are writing in English and using APA style). APA style assumes that the manuscript you are writing is in English. Thus, everything except the titles of cited works will also be in English. Examples from the Pub manual:

The Qur’an (M. A. S. Abdel Haleem, Trans.). (2004). Oxford University Press.

Aristotle. (1994). Poetics (S. H. Butcher, Trans.). The Internet Classics Archive. The Internet Classics Archive: 441 searchable works of classical literature (Original work published ca. 350 B.C.E.)

In addition, version 7 of the Publication Manual instructs us to stop using the phrase “available from”:

9.35​ Format of DOIs and URLs

Follow these guidelines to format DOIs and URLs.
Present both DOIs and URLs as hyperlinks (i.e., beginning with “http://” or “https://”). Because a hyperlink leads readers directly to the content, it is not necessary to include the words “Retrieved from” or “Accessed from” before a DOI or URL.

Welcome to our forum, @Michal_Buk! As @Bruce_Borkosky suggested, this will depend on the citation style. What citation style have you selected, and are you working in Google Docs or Word? Can you also provide an example reference where the DOI does not appear as plain text? This will help me reproduce the issue.
