Help Shape a New Tool for Discovering Research |
Ever wondered whether a paper has been replicated, discussed on PubPeer, or retracted? FORRT ORE (Open Research Extension) brings this information directly into your academic search results, helping you explore the evidence behind the research you read. Available as a free, open-source alpha extension for Chrome and Edge, ORE highlights replications, PubPeer discussions, retractions, and links to free full texts.
🚀 Want to help improve ORE? We’re inviting researchers and curious users to test the tool, share feedback, and help make it more useful across disciplines. Expect some rough edges — your input matters! |
