Detect Retracted References in Documents and Bibliographies R package retraction version 0.1.0 Scans manuscripts, bibliographies, and reference lists for citations to retracted publications so that authors can avoid citing retracted work. 'retraction' reads bibliographic formats (BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL-JSON, RIS, EndNote XML) and document formats (R Markdown, Quarto, 'LaTeX', Markdown, HTML, JATS XML, Word, and PDF), extracts and normalizes identifiers, and checks them against retraction data. The default data source is the Retraction Watch database served through the 'XeraRetractionTracker' API; 'Crossref', 'OpenAlex', 'Europe PMC', 'PubMed', 'DataCite', and a preprint source ('arXiv' and 'bioRxiv' withdrawals) are available as additional sources ('OpenAlex' retraction data is itself derived from Retraction Watch). Within each source, matching proceeds from exact Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and 'PubMed' identifier lookups to fuzzy title matching, and results are returned as a tidy table with a match-quality score and an optional self-contained HTML report.
