sorry to resurrect this old post, but I have searched high adn low and cannot find an answer.

I wonder whether Calibre is capable of retrieving teh metadata for journal articles. For these you do not have an ISBN, but (as explaiend in the opening message) a DOI. I tried to insert the DOI in the ISBN field in the metadata window of Calibre, but alas it immediately turns red, presumably because the format is rather different. E.g. for the one paper I was trying to edit metadata for the doi is 10.1207/S15327965PLI1403&4_20

Any suggestions?

Many thanks!
