๐กTip
For the most reliable verification of sources, it is recommended to manually copy and paste DOIs into the extension. While the automatic import feature can quickly detect many DOIs, it does not guarantee that all DOIs will be correctly identified. Manually entering DOIs ensures that you have the most accurate results.
