SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns a BibTeX bibliography into an understandable, theme-focused research landscape so you can quickly see what the literature is really about and avoid guessing at structure or title.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Theme extraction from abstracts: Reads BibTeX entries and analyzes abstract text to identify recurring methodologies, problem domains, and named systems.
  • Mermaid theme diagram generation: Produces a hierarchical tree diagram in Mermaid that organizes themes and sub-themes for fast scanning.
  • TARGET_TITLE proposal and confirmation: Suggests a working paper title (with rationale) and supports user confirmation or replacement to align the narrative with the detected scope.

Quick Start

Use bibtex-theme-analyzer on your uploaded .bib file to generate a Mermaid theme diagram and a proposed TARGET_TITLE.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map research themes from a BibTeX file?

To map research themes from a BibTeX file, the analyzer reads bibliography entries and extracts recurring concepts from abstracts to generate a structured thematic landscape. It clusters methodologies and problem domains into major themes, sub-themes, and a Mermaid tree diagram for fast scanning.

What is the best way to visualize the thematic scope of a literature review?

Visualizing the thematic scope of a literature review is best achieved by generating a Mermaid tree diagram from your bibliography's abstracts. This approach hierarchically organizes identified themes and sub-themes, allowing you to quickly understand the research landscape without manual coding.

Can I analyze a BibTeX bibliography with only a few entries?

You cannot analyze a BibTeX bibliography with only a few entries because the theme analysis requires at least three entries with usable abstracts to function properly. This minimum threshold ensures sufficient textual data exists to accurately cluster recurring concepts into meaningful themes.

How do I extract recurring methodologies and problem domains from academic abstracts?

Extracting recurring methodologies and problem domains from academic abstracts is done by processing the abstract text within your BibTeX entries. The analyzer identifies and clusters these recurring concepts automatically, outputting the results into a theme_analysis.json file for further review.

What files do I get after mapping research themes from a .bib file?

After mapping research themes from a .bib file, you receive a theme_analysis.json file containing the clustered concepts and a mermaid_diagram.md file with the hierarchical tree. The analyzer also returns a structured completion payload including the TARGET_TITLE and the output file paths.
