Stable Linking
LibKey.io can be used as a prefix to any DOI or PMID to create a permanent link to the article. To create stable links with LibKey.io simply add "libkey.io/" in front of any DOI or PMID in your browser's address bar (eg. https://libkey.io/10.1371/journal.pbio.0030137).

E-book detection
Since February 2022, LibKey Nomad can detect e-books – the same way it identifies articles. The extension works on several different publisher sites (eg. Oxford University Press) as well as popular platforms including Amazon or Wikipedia.

Retracted Articles
When an article is retracted (no longer considered reliable or valid), LibKey will change its color from the default navy-blue to crimson-red. It will also provide information about the retraction, including official notices from the publisher, links to related articles from Retraction Watch, and reasons for retraction.

This transparency helps to raise the awareness of the article's current reliability. Here is an example of a retracted article.
