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...
