Description
DOI is not really a human readable thing. I don't memorize DOIs, convention is (first author, year) or (first author et al., year)
In Detail Cards, the DOI isn't the full doi, which makes it hard to even recognize that it's a DOI. (green box, image 1). it's missing the journal's identifier in the part of the URI (e.g., it's not sciadv.adj9173, it's 10.1126/sciadv.adj9173.
In the filter sidebar of the grid view, , it would be best to have the same formatting.
In the Source Publication widget of the Cell Card, It's not clear how this information is retrieved. Do not display the journal name. Also, ensure that formatting for "et al.," is "et al.," not "et al" see purple box, image 2.
In our lab meeting, we discussed 2 fixes (interim and full):
Interim fix:.
change what is displayed on the detail card, and grid view filter side panel to match what is displayed in the "other cells from this source" widget. [see picture 2, orange box)
Full fix: Tom will implement the lookup for DOIs within Interlex. {to be more fully described by him}

Research direction
Start by locating the Detail Card, grid-view filter sidebar, and Source Publication widget mentioned in the issue, then compare how each currently formats DOI and publication information. Implement the agreed interim formatting consistently across those views; done means the DOI is recognizable, journal names are omitted where requested, and "et al.," punctuation matches.
