About Retraction Alert
Avoid citing or sharing retracted research and help keep the literature clean. Retraction Alert warns you when the page you’re reading—or the papers it cites—has been retracted, withdrawn, or flagged, and helps you follow up quickly.
• Clear inline banner with progress while checks run; red if the article or any citations are flagged, green if clear, neutral if unknown.
• Highlights sentences that cite flagged papers (articles, news, LinkedIn).
• One-click “Email corresponding author” draft when flagged citations are found (prefilled with the problematic references).
• ORCID/Scholar aware: links Scholar profiles to ORCID; on ORCID profiles, checks both works and cited works.
• Auto-runs on supported sites; no pop-up needed.
• Made by Luca Dellanna (https://Luca-Dellanna.com) — support the project at https://Luca-Dellanna.com/donate.
