Issues with the citation expander:

1. with citations expanded from pmid, it repeats the PubMed url in the url field;
2. it doesn't give the url to the article/abstract on the journal's website where this is available;
3. it repeats all the names of the authors, instead of using "et al." after a certain number;
4. it doesn't offer jstor;
5. it regularly isn't able to expand from the doi.

I've numbered your list to make it a little faster for me to reply:

1. This isn't the traditional convention at the English Wikipedia, but it is actually better from the POV of readers, who know how to identify and click on an external link when it's given as the title of the article, but who mostly don't know what they're supposed to do with the string of id numbers at the end.
2. Citoid can only give that URL if the underlying (usually Zotero, for journals) translator knows how to do that.
3. This is considered correct in most citation styles, and there's no way for the citoid service to know which articles are using other styles.
4. Jstor is theoretically supported but having some problems.
5. Some DOIs don't work, but most should. If you're having frequent or consistent problems, then please provide a handful of examples.

To start with, I really appreciate this tool, especially the citation generator. However, it would be nice if there were a way to add page numbers to book citations without having to manually edit the reference. Not the end of the world, but it would be a pleasant feature. Thanks for the great work!
