Happy to share the result of my participation in the 2nd Crossref Metadata Sprint São Paulo 2026!
Last week, I had the privilege of attending this incredible event — a true immersion in innovation, learning, and knowledge exchange focused on developing cutting-edge solutions for Crossref metadata processing, usage, and retrieval.
I’m thrilled to present to the academic community the Scholarly Retractions and Corrections Tool (SRCT) — an open-source solution I developed during the event’s three intensive days (March 4–6).
What SRCT does:
- Simplifies Crossmark registration for scholarly retractions and corrections
- Generates Crossmark XML deposit files directly from a DOI
- Features global retraction visualization (Retraction Watch + Crossref API Live Radar)
- Offers advanced search (geographical filters + keyword search)
- Ensures complete privacy — no data storage
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, JavaScript, MySQL, UIkit (Vibe coding) | Licensed under GNU GPL 3.0
This tool was enriched by the amazing collaboration and insights from fellow participants, including Edilson Damasio (UEM), Nicolas Mejía Torres (Universidad de La Sabana), Luis Montilla, and Isaac Farley from Crossref.
