# Fetching entries using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

To use this feature, choose Search -> Web search, and the search interface will appear in the side pane. Select DOI to BibTeX in the dropdown menu.

This fetcher uses http://dx.doi.org/ to convert an DOI to a BibTeX entry.

Enter the DOI in the search field and press Enter or the Fetch button. The entry will be fetched and added to your currently active database. In case an error occurs, it is shown in a popup.
