Retraction Search

Find retracted publications in the Retraction Watch database. Pick how you want to search.

Expert Search

I wanna look up author name(s)

Search by author name. Names are ambiguous, so the tool offers every candidate it considers plausible and you decide which retractions really belong to the person you meant.

DOI Lookup

I wanna look up DOIs

Paste a list of DOIs and see which of them have been retracted. A DOI identifies exactly one publication, so there is nothing to disambiguate. Thus the answer is yes or no.
