correctref: Correct and Standardize References for Scientific Manuscripts

Reads 'Word' documents containing incomplete bibliographic references and produces an updated file with standardized and complete references. The package provides functions to retrieve missing authors, titles, journal details, volume, issue, and page numbers. Digital object identifiers (DOIs) are retrieved using the 'CrossRef' application programming interface (API) <https://api.crossref.org>, and references are formatted following DOI-based citation standards as described by Paskin (2010) <doi:10.1000/182> and the 'citation.doi.org' service <https://citation.doi.org>. The package is intended to simplify reference preparation for scientific journal submissions.
