+## Example: Automated Retraction Check with GitHub Actions
+
+You can automate retraction checks for your bibliography file using GitHub Actions. The following workflow runs the check on demand, on a schedule, or on every commit to a specific branch. If any retractions are found, it will open a GitHub issue listing the findings.
+
+```yaml
+name: Retraction Check
+
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:  # Allows manual trigger
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '0 8 * * 1'  # Runs every Monday at 08:00 UTC
+  push:
+    paths:
+      - yourfile.bib  # Change this to your personal bib file to make sure the workflow runs every time the bibfile changes
+
+jobs:
+  retraction_check:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      issues: write
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout repository
+        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Set up Python
+        uses: actions/setup-python@v5
+        with:
+          python-version: '3.11'
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: |
+          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
+          pip install .
+
+      - name: Run retraction check
+        id: retraction
+        run: |
+          python -m retraction_check.check_bib path/to/your/bibfileyourfile.bib > findings.txt
+          grep -v "No retracted papers found." findings.txt > findings_only.txt || true
+
+      - name: Create issue if retractions found
+        if: success() && hashFiles('findings_only.txt') != ''
+        uses: peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v5
+        with:
+          title: "Retraction Watch: Retracted Papers Detected in Bibliography"
+          content-filepath: findings_only.txt
+          labels: retraction, automated-check
+```
+
+- Replace `yourfile.bib` with the path to your bibliography file.
+- The workflow will create an issue only if retractions are found.
+- You can trigger the workflow manually, on a schedule, or on every commit to the specified branch.
+
+## Example: Automated Retraction Check with GitLab CI
+
+You can also automate retraction checks for your bibliography file using GitLab CI/CD. The following example runs the check on every push to the default branch and creates an issue if retractions are found (requires a GitLab personal access token with API scope stored as `GITLAB_TOKEN`).
+
+```yaml
+retraction_check:
+  image: python:3.11
+  stage: test
+  script:
+    - pip install .
+    - python -m retraction_check.check_bib path/to/yourfile.bib > findings.txt
+    - grep -v "No retracted papers found." findings.txt > findings_only.txt || true
+    # Only create an issue if findings_only.txt is not empty
+    - |
+      if [ -s findings_only.txt ]; then
+        curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $GITLAB_TOKEN" \
+             --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+             --data '{
+               "title": "Retraction Watch: Retracted Papers Detected in Bibliography",
+               "description": "$(cat findings_only.txt)",
+               "labels": "retraction, automated-check"
+             }' \
+             --request POST "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/issues"
+      fi
+  only:
+    - main  # or your default branch
+  rules:
+    - changes:
+        - path/to/yourfile.bib
+```
+
+- Replace `path/to/yourfile.bib` with the path to your bibliography file.
+- Store a GitLab personal access token with API scope as a CI/CD variable named `GITLAB_TOKEN`.
+- The job will create an issue only if retractions are found and the `.bib` file changes.
