SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

citation-audit eliminates the risk of hallucinated, incorrect, or misused references by verifying that each bibliographic entry both exists and actually supports the specific claims where it is cited.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Existence verification: confirms the cited work truly exists for the stated arXiv/DOI/venue.
  • Metadata correctness checks: validates authors, year, title, and venue against canonical sources such as DBLP/arXiv/ACL Anthology/OpenReview.
  • Context appropriateness audit: checks whether the cited paper supports the surrounding sentence rather than merely matching a keyword.
  • Pre-submission integrity gate: produces both human-readable and machine-readable audit artifacts to support submission readiness.
  • Optional uncited detection: with the opt-in flag, reports bib entries that are present but never cited (advisory only, not used to downgrade verdicts).

Quick Start

Run citation-audit on your paper directory (with the LaTeX draft and its bib/tex files) to generate CITATION_AUDIT.md and CITATION_AUDIT.json showing KEEP/FIX/REPLACE/REMOVE decisions for each cited reference.

Frequently Asked Questions about citation-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that LaTeX bibliography entries exist and support my paper's claims before submission?▼

Verifying bibliography entries before submission requires auditing references.bib and tex files to confirm each cite exists, is correctly attributed against DBLP or arXiv, and contextually supports the surrounding manuscript claim.

What is the best way to check for hallucinated or incorrect arXiv and DOI references in a LaTeX document?▼

Checking for hallucinated references involves validating authors, year, title, and venue against canonical sources like DBLP, arXiv, ACL Anthology, and OpenReview to ensure the cited work truly exists for the stated identifier.

Can I detect uncited entries in my references.bib file during a bibliography audit?▼

Yes, you can detect uncited bib entries by enabling an opt-in flag during the audit, which reports bib entries present but never cited in any tex file, serving as an advisory report without downgrading citation verdicts.

Does paper submission QA support machine-readable audit artifacts for continuous integration?▼

Yes, the audit produces both human-readable CITATION_AUDIT.md and machine-readable CITATION_AUDIT.json files containing KEEP, FIX, REPLACE, or REMOVE decisions for each cited reference, supporting automated submission readiness checks.

How do I audit citations without modifying my original LaTeX bib files?▼

You can audit citations without modifying bib files by using a soft-only mode that freezes bib edits, allowing the review process to generate audit reports and decisions while keeping the original references.bib completely unchanged.
