FAQPage Schema
How do I add external BibTeX citations to a LaTeX document without altering my main bibliography file?

To add external BibTeX citations without modifying your main bibliography, machine-added entries are written to a dedicated working bibliography file placed alongside your active curated bibs. This approach ensures your primary bibliography remains completely clean and unmodified.

How can I verify citation metadata against canonical sources before inserting them into my paper?

Verifying citation metadata against canonical sources before insertion prevents fabricated entries by validating exact metadata details. This ensures that only accurate, canonical source data is safely added to your working bibliography for proposals, papers, slides, and reports.

Do I need local BibTeX files and cite-key markup to use automated bibliography verification?

Yes, local BibTeX files and cite-key markup are required prerequisites. Automated bibliography verification applies to documents using local workflows, including proposals, papers, slides, and reports, ensuring citations come from canonical sources with exact metadata.

What is the best way to keep my primary bibliography clean when inserting machine-generated citations?

The best way to keep your primary bibliography clean when inserting machine-generated citations is to enforce machine-added entries into a dedicated working bibliography. This practice validates metadata against canonical sources and never alters curated main bib files.

What happens if I want to protect my curated BibTeX files from automated citation tools?

To protect your curated BibTeX files from automated citation tools, the system never alters your main curated bib files. Instead, it safely isolates machine-added entries in a dedicated working bibliography placed next to your active main bib files.
