# Find retraction notices in your reference list

**Use case:** 

Running this audit costs $29 per collection (up to 10,000 references), including this example. Check DOI references against Retraction Watch and Crossref publisher notices. Get HTML and JSON reports tied to your reference IDs. Replace the simulated sample with your list. A missing notice is not a reliability certification.

## Input

```json
{
  "references": [
    {
      "id": "example/ref-1",
      "doi": "10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.156691",
      "asset": "SIMULATED example document"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "reference_count": {
    "label": "References",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "unique_dois_checked": {
    "label": "Unique DOIs checked",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "references_with_recorded_events": {
    "label": "References with recorded events",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "invalid_identifiers": {
    "label": "Invalid identifiers",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "source_released_on": {
    "label": "Source released",
    "format": "date"
  },
  "checked_on": {
    "label": "Checked on",
    "format": "date"
  },
  "source_profile": {
    "label": "Source profile",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "interpretation": {
    "label": "Interpretation",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Research Reference Review](https://apify.com/blueberry_windchime/research-reference-review.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/blueberry_windchime/research-reference-review.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
