Archive DOI not validated #103

Re:

@sdruskat found two papers which had incorrect archive DOIs (nice catch!),

The responder is here: https://github.com/openjournals/buffy/blob/joss/app/responders/openjournals/set_archive_responder.rb

and there is already a valid_doi_value method - it seems like we should probably at least check that the link doesn't 404, right? Would additional validation be useful or overengineering? Since we allow any archive to be used, and the archive might also not share the title with with the reviewed work, it seems like it might be hard to validate that "this archive link is for sure the right one"

some ideas:

  • query eg. crossref for the archive metadata, prompt with a warning when the title is >threshold different than the submitted work title
  • add an item to post-review editorial/author checklist that is "ensure that the archive link is the right thing"

thoughts? i'd be happy to PR whatever we decide here :)
