LibKey retracted article alerts expanded
July 9, 2025: If you use Library databases to get articles or have installed the LibKey Nomad browser extension to make getting those articles very easy, you already know how LibKey helps to identify retracted articles. Check out our post from December 2021 for more information about the retracted articles alerts.
LibKey now brings those retracted article alerts to warn you of papers that cite retracted works in the article you’re linking to:

You can still continue to the original article by clicking “Download PDF” or “Article Link.” If you click on the links next to the retracted citations, you will see the summary of why that article was retracted.
These same alerts will display if you choose to use the LibKey.io product to look up articles using DOIs or PMIDs. You can quickly get to articles we have access to by going to https://libkey.io/libraries/935.
If you need help with this or any other Library products, contact us.
