Retraction Checker

Paste a DOI or a list of DOIs to instantly check whether any have been retracted or have expressions of concern, using the CrossRef API.

Upload or paste a .bib file to detect duplicate references — matches by DOI, title similarity, or both — and shows exactly which entries conflict.

Preprint to Published DOI

Enter an arXiv or bioRxiv DOI/ID to find whether a peer-reviewed published version exists — looks up CrossRef for the canonical DOI.

Paste BibTeX entries to check that every required field is present for each entry type (@article, @book, @inproceedings, etc.) — flags missing and unknown fields.
