Reply to comment by DocDez in Researchers investigated the citation frequency of retracted scientific papers in science. They found that the retraction of papers only has a limited effect on citation (decreases citation frequency by ~60%) compared to non-retracted papers. Thus, retracted papers often live on. by Alysdexic

I would think so too... Mainly looking to compare the documents for changes and looking for key words like correction or retraction.

Even easier than that, errata are formally published documents by a journal saying “actually, we messed up, please ignore that last thing we said”. It attaches to the underlying work forever. It’s closer to an appeals court reversing a trial courts decision: pretty hard to miss and very clearly marked every time.

Edit: first redditor to tell Zotero gets the big bucks.

They've apparently already implemented it, though as of the linked post only for papers with a DOI or PMID entered. Not sure if they expanded it in Zotero 6.

Hopefully endnote will get something similar. I'll always use whatever my employer gets a group license for and it seems that most places use endnote.
