We can find COD entries without titles in the COD SQL database. I
can send you a list of such entries or an SQL query if you would
like.<br>

<p>Lol – I had exactly the same problem :).</p>
<p>I think we need to us 'urlencode' for them before sending them to
the doi.org as a DOI request, it worked for me. I can send yo may
shell hack for this if that would help.<br>

<p>Yes, DOIs are more permissive than even URLs. No idea why they
did that, but that's what we have. Let me know if you would like
to look at any of my hacks on this.<br>

<p>PS. The 40k+ bibliographies for COD entries with missing years or
page numbers were downloaded. I'll have to look at them and sort
them out (some have failed since the DOIs are not from journals
but from university repos, some journals no longer hand our page
numbers or do not include them into DOI-derived bibliography
files...). We'll see how it works but a lot of COD entries can be
fixed now.</p>
