bibtex-curator

To convert written-out citations to BibTeX keys, run a curation tool that detects bare citations in .tex and .qmd files and matches them to existing .bib entries. This process replaces plain text references with proper citation commands while preserving surrounding text.

Finding missing BibTeX entries is best handled by querying external APIs like CrossRef and Semantic Scholar to fetch or verify metadata. This retrieves the correct bibliographic information and generates the missing entries for your bibliography file.

Yes, you can use CrossRef and Semantic Scholar to automatically fetch BibTeX entries. When an existing bibliography lacks a matching reference, these APIs are queried to resolve the citation, verify metadata, and insert the proper entry.

Enforcing consistent BibTeX key conventions requires resolving all bare citations to keys that follow your project's specific naming rules. A curation tool scans .qmd files, matches written citations to your bibliography, and rewrites them using enforced conventions.

Automatic citation curation preserves the original text formatting in LaTeX documents. It targets and replaces only the bare written-out citations with proper commands, ensuring the surrounding manuscript text remains completely intact.

Bare citations in Quarto manuscripts need to be resolved to BibTeX keys to enable proper reference rendering and bibliography generation. Converting written-out citations to structured commands ensures your document compiles with correct metadata.
