RetractionRisk Scanner: Protect Your Research Integrity

As a researcher, citing a retracted or problematic paper can undermine your work's credibility and even lead to secondary retractions. The RetractionRisk Scanner is a specialized browser extension designed to help you screen papers for risks in real-time.

Key Features:
1. One-Click DOI Detection: Automatically identifies the DOI on the academic page you are viewing.
2. Real-Time Risk Labels: Instantly see if a paper is Retracted, has an Expression of Concern, or has been Corrected.
3. Community Warning Signals: Aggregates negative mentions and discussions from PubPeer, Bluesky, and X (Twitter) to provide a "High Risk" or "Medium Risk" alert.
4. Comprehensive Coverage: Automatically detects research risks on Elsevier, Springer Nature, PubMed, and thousands of other scholarly journals.
5. Privacy-Focused: We do not track your browsing history. We only process the DOI of the paper you choose to scan.

How it works:
1. Open any academic paper in your browser.
2. Click the RetractionRisk Scanner icon.
3. View the instant risk assessment and click for more details to see specific community comments on our dashboard.

Stop the spread of problematic research. Ensure your citations are solid before you submit.
