Automatically detect retracted papers in your reference list using the Retraction Watch database. Thrix provides a link to the retraction notice, helping you decide the best course of action.
Identify references with fabricated or invalid DOIs. Some AI tools can generate DOIs – or even entire references – that don’t exist. Thrix flags DOIs that are invalid or don’t match the reference details, helping you ensure your references are accurate.
Cross-check reference lists against in-text citations. Inconsistencies, missing references, and uncited references are all flagged for your attention.
Automatically add missing reference details using trusted metadata from Crossref and PubMed. Thrix can add missing:
