Typefi acquired Edifix in 2026, but prior to that, the company was already one of the largest Edifix users. Edifix powers SmartReferences within Typefi Orion, a Microsoft Word-based XML editorial software for scholarly publishers. Designed as a seamless, modern replacement for Inera eXtyles, Typefi Orion matches the features of eXtyles along with extensive improvements, like significantly faster processing and support for Word's native change tracking. You can even import all your existing eXtyles settings! If you want to expand your automation beyond references to full-scale authoring and editing, Typefi Orion is the natural next step.

Crossref is a global, non-profit membership association that provides foundational infrastructure for scholarly communications, including Content Registration for assigning DOIs and Cited-by for tracking citation links. Its primary mission is to make research outputs easy to find, cite, link, and assess by facilitating persistent reference linking through rich metadata. Crossref is directly integrated with Edifix, so Edifix can query Crossref to identify articles that match the references you submit. Once matched, Edifix checks for errors in the submitted references and fixes them automatically (or adds a warning for the editor to review). Edifix also embeds active hyperlinks in your references to matching articles in the Crossref database.

PubMed is a free search engine developed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) that provides access to over 37 million citations and abstracts for biomedical and life sciences literature. Its primary mission is to support health research by making scientific knowledge easily discoverable. PubMed is directly integrated with Edifix, meaning Edifix checks your submitted references for accuracy against the PubMed database. Edifix then fixes any errors it finds (or adds warnings for editorial review) and embeds links in your references to the matching articles in the PubMed database.

Retraction Watch operates within the Center for Scientific Integrity, whose mission is to promote transparency and integrity in science and scientific publishing and to disseminate best practices and increase efficiency in science. Retraction Watch generates a continuously updated database of retractions, expressions of concern, and related publishing events for the benefit of scientists, scholars, and others interested in analyzing the information. By integrating the Retraction Watch database, Edifix can identify and flag a larger number of retracted articles in submitted reference entries, giving Edifix users better information for decision making.
