p7doi

p7doi is a tool for Paris 7 students who read research papers outside the university. A lot of them are behind a paywall, which can be bypassed by using the university’s proxy because it’s subscribed to a bunch of these websites.

Note: you’ll need to login with your student credentials when asked to.

Install

pip install p7doi

Usage

p7doi <doi>

It’ll open the article in your default web browser. Note that you might need to put the DOI between quotes if it contains characters that could be interpreted by your shell (e.g. parentheses).

You can also use it from the web.

Example

p7doi 10.1126/science.298.5594.824
