Can’t believe they don’t link to the actual paper: https://academic.oup.com/pasj/advance-article/doi/10.1093/pa...

And has the value of "it doesn't go dead as easily" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier
> The DOI for a document remains fixed over the lifetime of the document, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to an online document by its DOI should provide a more stable link than directly using its URL. But if its URL changes, the publisher must update the metadata for the DOI to maintain the link to the URL. It is the publisher's responsibility to update the DOI database. If they fail to do so, the DOI resolves to a dead link, leaving the DOI useless.

I thought thats why we had urls not only IP addresses ..
which reminds me, who has control over DOI.org ... eg. is it DOGE-safe ? likewise arXiv .. can it easily be co-opted / subsumed ?
I’ve met the folks behind DOI. Very nice people (Jonathan Clark in particular).
It’s an independent foundation and they have backups/contingency plans established with major universities to preserve the DOI records in the event the foundation fails.
Maybe it would be better to identify papers via a hash of their contents so that there's nothing to co-opt.
It's blocked by "EasyList – Newsletter Notices", the annoyances lists are often a bit too aggressive.
what kind of nonsense are they doing with a link that uBO would block it? is it a 3rd party JS library that assembles an element that then places the link as stylized embed? I'd have expected more tracking type of stuff with it, but inspecting the element appears that the link is clean. my uBO did not block it????
Not linking to the actual paper is exactly the sort of thing that I've come to expect of phys.org

It links to a doi.org URL which directs the browser to what you linked.
