SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Academic-paper-helper reduces the time and friction of preparing conference-ready manuscripts by automating LaTeX template creation, BibTeX citation management, formatting checks, and pre-submission validation so authors can focus on content instead of formatting and compilation issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conference templates: Generate complete LaTeX skeletons for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ACL and other common venues to match template and style constraints.
  • BibTeX management: Create and normalize BibTeX entries from messy inputs, enforce title and author casing rules, and add DOI metadata when available.
  • Writing and format checks: Run academic-writing style checks (structure, passive/active voice guidance, abstract length) and verify figure/table/ citation consistency.
  • LaTeX diagnostics: Diagnose common compilation errors, suggest fixes for missing packages, file path issues, and undefined citations.
  • Pre-submission workflow: Provide a checklist-driven workflow for final verification including page limits, citation formatting, and supplementary material readiness.
  • Use case: Rapidly scaffold a NeurIPS submission, convert collected references into a clean references.bib, fix LaTeX compile errors, and produce a submission checklist.

Quick Start

Generate a NeurIPS LaTeX skeleton titled "Efficient Transformers", produce a normalized references.bib from the following citation list, and run the pre-submission checklist.

What is the best way to normalize messy BibTeX entries for an academic paper?

The best way to normalize messy BibTeX entries is to use automated formatting tools. This Skill creates and normalizes BibTeX entries from raw inputs, enforces title and author casing rules, and adds DOI metadata when available.

How do I fix common LaTeX compilation errors like missing packages or undefined citations?

To fix LaTeX compilation errors, you need targeted diagnostics for missing packages, file path issues, and undefined citations. This Skill diagnoses these common compilation errors and suggests specific fixes to resolve them.

Can I use a checklist-driven workflow to verify formatting before paper submission?

Yes, you can use a pre-submission checklist to verify formatting before paper submission. This workflow checks page limits, citation formatting, academic writing style, and supplementary material readiness for final verification.

Does academic writing style validation check abstract length and citation consistency?

Academic writing style validation does check abstract length and citation consistency. It runs structural checks, provides passive and active voice guidance, and verifies that figures, tables, and citations remain consistent throughout the manuscript.
