What problem does it solve?
Manually managing, validating, and formatting academic citations is time-consuming and prone to errors that can undermine the credibility of research papers, theses, and literature reviews. This skill eliminates that tedious work by automating the entire citation management workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Metadata Extraction: Convert DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, and URLs to complete, accurate BibTeX entries using official academic APIs.
- Citation Validation: Check for broken DOIs, missing required fields, duplicate entries, and formatting errors to ensure citation accuracy.
- BibTeX Formatting and Cleaning: Standardize citation formatting, sort entries, remove duplicates, and enforce consistent citation key conventions.
- Use Case: If you are preparing a journal submission with 80+ references from multiple sources, use this skill to extract metadata for all sources, validate each citation for accuracy, and format the bibliography to match the journal's required citation style.
Quick Start
Use the citation-management skill to extract, validate, and format all citations for your research manuscript from a list of paper DOIs and PubMed IDs.
