What this server can do
4 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_citations(references)- Verify a pasted reference list (plain text, BibTeX or RIS) against Crossref, OpenAlex, DataCite, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed and DBLP, plus Retraction Watch. Flags references that cannot be found (possibly fabricated), retracted papers and DOI mismatches. One check per day without an account; sign in for more. Required: references.
compare_journals(issns)- Side-by-side comparison of 2-4 journals by ISSN: quartile and indexing for any caller, trust score and APC for an identified one. Required: issns.
get_journal(issn)- Full profile of one journal by ISSN: indexing, quartile, open-access status, scope and integrity signals (e.g. DOAJ withdrawal) for any caller. Trust score with breakdown, impact factor, APC and measured publication time require an identified caller. Use when the user asks about one journal. Required: issn.
search_journals(query, quartile, max_results, open_access_only)- Search 46,000+ academic journals by title, ISSN, or publisher. Returns indexing status (WoS/Scopus/DOAJ), SJR quartile and open-access info for any caller; trust score and APC require an identified caller. Supports filters. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
