Auditing citations in a Quarto manuscript involves scanning index.qmd for cited keys and matching them against references.bib entries. This process flags incomplete metadata, missing DOIs, and entry misclassifications, generating a report of suggested fixes for human review.

Can I verify that all cited keys in index.qmd have corresponding BibTeX entries?▼
