+1 However, I still think you should let users submit links. There are really two different issues here, one is to suggest a completely new paper, another is to provide a link to an already listed paper where there's currently no link provided. A lot of the papers only have a DOI link currently. Submitting such links won't need any name normalization, as the paper is already listed. For papers not already in your database, maybe have a two-tier system where not-yet-checked entries are marked as such when they are shown? Providing bibtex entries would be nice as well.
