Many scientific journals have Data Object Identifiers (DOIs) that reference scientific articles stored in a central database.

Our autolinker can auto create hyperlinks to those articles through a custom regular expression

Create a new autolink job complete the fields as follows:(you can see the screenshot below for reference)

Job Type:  Regular Expression

Job Name: Give it any Job Name you want

Search for: 10.\d{4}/\S+

Replace with: 1st box= http://dx.doi.org/ ; 2nd Box=10.\d{4}/\S+

HoverTip:  Enter in any hovertip you want to popup when your mouse is hovered over (optional)

You have to pass a test case so just type a DOI number in there and if all goes well you will see the test pass!

Once this job is created...you can use it whenever you want at the time of a new issue upload...it will be available in the list that includes the default website/email job.
