Funding

Retraction watch has been funded by a variety of sources, including donation and grants. They received grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Helmsley Charitable Trust, and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. The database of retractions was funded by a 400,000 dollar grant from the MacArthur Foundation received in 2015. They have partnered with the Center for Open Science, which is also funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, to create a retraction database on the Open Science Framework.

Partnership with Zotero

As of June, 2019, Retraction watch has partnered with Zotero, a citation manager, to flag paper that have been retracted. This feature would allow anyone referencing a paper through Zotero to be alerted if that paper had been retracted. Articles that have been retracted are flagged in the item list, and Zotero will warn users if they attempt to cite a retracted paper using the word processor plug in that the paper has been retracted. This feature is designed so that it can be used anonymously.
