SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents submission-time bibliography integrity failures by verifying that each cited work exists, is correctly described, and actually supports the manuscript claim it is used for.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Existence & metadata verification: Confirms cited references resolve and match canonical authors, title, year, and venue records.
  • Context appropriateness checking: Detects wrong-context citations where a real paper does not support the specific claim being made.
  • Actionable audit outputs: Produces a human-readable report and a machine-readable verdict ledger for downstream workflow gating.
  • Optional coverage expansion: With an opt-in flag, reports uncited bib entries for potential pruning or review.

Quick Start

Use the citation-audit skill on your paper directory that contains references.bib and the LaTeX section files with \cite{...} calls.

Frequently Asked Questions about citation-audit

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify LaTeX bibliography integrity before submitting a manuscript?

Verify LaTeX bibliography integrity by auditing each \cite{...} usage against references.bib to confirm cited works exist, match canonical metadata, and actually support the manuscript's surrounding claims. This process prevents submission-time citation failures.

How do I detect wrong-context citations in academic writing?

Detect wrong-context citations by extracting the LaTeX sentence context around each \cite{...} call and cross-referencing the claim with fresh web, DBLP, or arXiv lookups. This identifies instances where a real paper does not support the specific claim being made.

Can I audit my references.bib file for incorrect metadata and missing papers?

Yes, you can audit a references.bib file by performing fresh lookups per entry to confirm existence and verify canonical authors, title, year, and venue records against external databases. This process outputs KEEP, FIX, REPLACE, or REMOVE verdicts.

What is the best way to check for uncited entries in a LaTeX bibliography?

Check for uncited entries by enabling an opt-in coverage expansion flag during the bibliography audit. This reports unused references.bib entries, allowing you to prune or review them before finalizing your manuscript submission.

Does citation verification work with arXiv and DBLP lookups for LaTeX papers?

Yes, citation verification works with arXiv and DBLP lookups by querying these databases per bib entry to validate existence and retrieve canonical metadata. It reconciles the results with your LaTeX source to ensure claim-to-context support.

How do I generate a machine-readable citation audit report for my workflow?

Generate a machine-readable citation audit report by running a bibliography audit that emits a CITATION_AUDIT.json file. This verdict ledger contains per-entry decisions for downstream workflow gating alongside a human-readable CITATION_AUDIT.md report.
