(13 May 2024) GetFTR, the cross-industry initiative aimed at streamlining the researcher journey from discovery to access, is proud to announce a significant enhancement to their core service which will expose retraction and errata information to researchers at the point of discovery.
This collaboration with Crossref marks a significant step forward in ensuring researchers have access to the most accurate and up-to-date scholarly content.
Earlier this year, GetFTR revealed plans to leverage its existing infrastructure to incorporate retraction and errata data provided by Crossref and Retraction Watch. Today, this service has officially gone live for researchers using the GetFTR Browser Extension, with plans for wider implementation later this year across tools and platforms integrated with GetFTR.
With the new service, researchers will now see “Update” or “Retraction” buttons alongside the GetFTR button in their search results or article pages. Clicking on the button will provide more detailed information about the document’s status, giving researchers confidence that they are accessing the most accurate and up-to-date version of the article.
