Judging Evidence Quality
Crossref
Crossref is the registration agency that assigns and maintains most academic DOIs, and also maintains records of retractions and corrections.
In context
You'll usually need this when checking whether a source you're citing has since been retracted or corrected.
Why it matters
It's the registration agency behind most academic DOIs, and now also the place to check whether a source has been retracted.
