We've got news! Retraction Watch data is now integrated with Crossref's existing #metadata, allowing #researchers to access retraction information directly through the Crossref REST API. More info in our latest blog post: https://tinyurl.com/3mdju992
www.crossref.orgRetraction Watch retractions now in the Crossref API - CrossrefRetractions and corrections from Retraction Watch are now available in Crossref’s REST API. Back in September 2023, we announced the acquisition of the Retraction Watch database with an ongoing shared service. Since then, they have sent us regular updates, which are publicly available as a csv file. Our aim has always been to better integrate these retractions with our existing metadata, and today we’ve met that goal.
This is the first time we have supplemented our metadata with a third-party data source.
