It seems that PubMed has changed the tags for DOI from AID to LID for at least new references. This means that the current PubMed import filter is not correct. Old references still have the old AID tags.
I’ve tried to make an updated PubMed filter that I have attached (that also remove the pii number that still is tagged with the same tag as the DOI number).
It seems to work, but if anyone care to test it I will be happy to learn about any errors.
PS! The Connection File for those importing from Pubmed directly from EndNote also has to be updated for the new LID tag!
Thanks!
Best wishes

I’m getting a little confused now. Checking the following new references (PMID):
20068215
20068213
20064377
The AID tag is used.
I wonder if the LID tag is used for online only references. Looking at the examples I’ve found they all seem to be without normal page number and PubMed display the DOI number in the Summary Display. This is not done for “normal” articles even though they have a DOI number if I check the Medline Display.
Anyway, the filter I have attached have retained instructions for the AID tag in addition to the new LID tag, so the filter should handle both types.
Does anyone know the reason for the LID tag (compared to the AID tag)?
A quick check shows that BMJ seems to use the LID for the DOI field as far back as 2008 in my random check. 2007 are the last ones that come up in my search that have the DOI mapping correctly in a pubmed search with my current “connect” file.
I don’t know how many other journals may have other similar idiosyncratic assignments?

What is interesting is that the references that uses the LID tag have the DOI number in the summary display (se below):
The DOI or publisher ID that serves the role of pagination to locate an online article.
Article Identifier [AID]
Includes article identifiers submitted by journal publishers such as doi (digital object identifier). These data are typically used for generating LinkOut links.
It seems that the LID number is used when a online article lacks normal pagination (?). It seems that the use of this tag is controlled by the publishers when they submitt data to Pubmed.
I’ve found the LID tag is used also for some articles in Journal of Clinical Investigation and Pharmacoeconomics.
Anyway, it seems from this that it is neccessary to “program” the PubMed Connection filter and Import filter for the AID tag to be sure to get all DOI numbers.
I haven’t checked how the situation is for the different Medline filters - if there is two different tags used in the export files for these too.
