There is:

  http://www.doi.org/


The vast majority of all scientific (if not all) publications receive a
DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Those can be resolved by appending them
to this base URL:

  http://dx.doi.org/

i.e.

  http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/neuro.11.003.2009

That will redirect you to the publication. Moreover also the KDE
konqueror also understands the 'doi:' protocol...
