SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers and editors verify that every citation in a manuscript actually exists, is correctly attributed, and is used in a context the cited work supports.

Core Features & Use Cases

Existence checks ensure cited papers exist at the claimed DOI/ID.
Metadata verification cross-checks authors, year, venue, and title against canonical sources (DBLP, arXiv, ACL, Nature, etc.).
Context verification assesses whether the citation supports the surrounding claim, catching wrong-context usage and author-name issues.
Generates a structured, auditable report (CITATION_AUDIT.md and CITATION_AUDIT.json) for integration into submission pipelines.
Suitable for pre-submission checks, peer-review preparation, or bibliographic hygiene in large documents.

Quick Start

Run the audit on your paper by pointing this skill at your bib file and manuscript sections.

FAQPage Schema

How do I verify that citations in a manuscript actually exist and are correctly attributed?▼

To verify citation existence and attribution, you audit bibliography entries against official sources like DBLP and arXiv. This process cross-checks authors, years, and venues to ensure metadata accuracy and proper attribution, returning per-entry verdicts for validation.

What is the best way to check if a citation supports the surrounding claim in my paper?▼

Checking if a citation supports a claim requires context verification against the cited work. This audit assesses whether the referenced paper actually substantiates the surrounding text, catching wrong-context usage and author-name issues during pre-submission checks.

How do I cross-check bibliographic metadata across sources like arXiv and DBLP?▼

Cross-checking bibliographic metadata involves comparing authors, year, venue, and title against canonical sources such as arXiv and DBLP. This ensures accuracy and proper attribution, producing a machine-readable ledger suitable for downstream validation pipelines.

Can I generate a structured report of citation audit results for a submission pipeline?▼

Yes, you can generate a structured citation audit report for submission pipelines. The audit outputs both a human-readable CITATION_AUDIT.md and a machine-readable CITATION_AUDIT.json ledger, enabling seamless integration into peer-review preparation workflows.

Does citation-audit work with large documents for pre-submission bibliographic hygiene?▼

Citation-audit is suitable for bibliographic hygiene in large documents and pre-submission checks. It identifies and verifies each citation entry against official sources, applying cross-checks across metadata to ensure accuracy without document scale limitations.
