DataCite: get your bibliographic references automatically by providing DOIs.

DataCite is an international not-for-profit organization which aims to improve data citation.

Although DataCite members can assign digital object identifiers (DOIs) to data sets, you do not need to be a DataCite member to get a reference from a DOI appropriately formatted to the journal you are planning to submit your manuscript.

Scroll down to Get started with DataCite:

Click on Generate your references automatically ... and you will be redirected to the main search page:

Paste your DOI, select the formatting style, and click on Format:

Then, you can copy and paste the bibliographic reference in the reference list of your manuscript.

Quite easy, isn't it?
