What this MCP does

Searches and compares academic journals, providing indexing, quartiles, open-access information, APCs, trust signals, and publication-time data.

check_citations

Verify a reference list

Verify a pasted reference list (plain text, BibTeX or RIS) against Crossref, OpenAlex, DataCite, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed and DBLP, plus Retraction Watch. Flags references that cannot be found (possibly fabricated), retracted papers and DOI mismatches. One check per day without an account; sign in for more.

get_journal

Get journal profile
