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. ⚠️ Disclaimer The Source Taster extension is a helpful tool for verifying the existence and validity of DOIs. While we strive to provide accurate results, the automated checks cannot guarantee complete accuracy. We recommend manually verifying all sources, especially for critical research. Do not solely rely on the results from this extension—conduct additional checks to ensure reliability.
