English abstract

Crossref's acquisition of the Retraction Watch database, announced on September 12, 2023, heralds a transformative era in research integrity. This commentary highlights the pivotal role played by this acquisition in preserving the trustworthiness of scientific research. By creating the most extensive open-source retraction database, it streamlines the identification of retractions, enhancing transparency and accessibility. Open access ensures global availability, benefiting researchers, publishers, and readers. Financial support secures sustainability, enabling the expansion of investigative journalism on retractions. This acquisition demonstrates the collective commitment to upholding rigorous scientific standards and advancing the future of research.
