Retraction Watch, the prominent website and database that tracks retractions in scholarly literature, has teamed up with Crossref, a publishing nonprofit, in an effort to help researchers and journals identify articles that have been retracted and maintain the integrity of scientific literature.

The five-year partnership will allow Crossref to access Retraction Watch's comprehensive database of over 42,000 retractions, while providing stable funding of $775,000 to Retraction Watch. By linking this information to Crossref's digital object identifier system, scientific retractions may become easier to identify and monitor. A win-win for both organizations and the scientific community.
