Overview

RetractCheck checks research articles against the Retraction Watch database.

When you visit a research article, the extension extracts the DOI and checks if there are any retraction notices, corrections, or expressions of concern. If something is found, you'll see it in the popup.

Features:
• Automatic DOI extraction from 500+ academic sites
• Shows retraction reason, date, and links
• Works on PubMed, Nature, Science, Elsevier, Springer, and more
• Privacy-focused: no tracking, no data collection

This project is unofficial and not affiliated with Retraction Watch.
