KERNIT Documentation
DOI Resolution
DOI resolution adds external bibliographic evidence to the review flow. KERNIT can resolve references, validate DOI candidates, and hold risky identity changes for review before applying links.
Resolver Inputs#
KERNIT extracts bibliography text from the DOCX, normalizes reference candidates, and sends enough evidence for DOI lookup when the resolver is enabled. The resolver report can include DOI, title, author, year, confidence, and correction/retraction metadata where available.
Resolver Outputs#
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| doi | Creates canonical DOI links when accepted. |
| title | Helps verify whether the resolved work matches the reference. |
| confidence | Controls whether a row is ready, held, or needs manual review. |
| citationImpact | Explains how a resolver update may affect in-text citations. |
| transactionPlan | Describes whether KERNIT can apply link-only or synchronized updates. |
Resolver evidence is useful, but the review surface is still the source of truth. Do not blindly apply identity-changing resolver rows in production workflows.
