SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, scholarly, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manage and harmonize scholarly citations by automatically extracting metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, and URLs, and by producing clean BibTeX entries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search Google Scholar and PubMed to discover relevant papers and extract metadata (authors, year, journal, volume, DOI, etc.).
  • Convert identifiers into publication-ready BibTeX entries and validate DOIs and field consistency for manuscript workflows.
  • Build and maintain reproducible bibliographies for literature reviews, theses, and scientific manuscripts.

Quick Start

To begin, run the citation-management workflow on your literature list to generate and validate BibTeX entries from your identifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions about citation-management

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a DOI to a BibTeX entry automatically?

To convert a DOI to a BibTeX entry, the system queries CrossRef for publication metadata and formats the results into valid BibTeX syntax. It automatically extracts authors, year, journal, and volume to generate a publication-ready reference.

What is the best way to extract metadata from arXiv IDs for a literature review?

Extracting metadata from arXiv IDs involves querying the arXiv API to fetch publication details and generating standardized BibTeX entries. This automates bibliographic documentation and enforces required-field conformance for literature reviews.

Can I search PubMed and Google Scholar to discover papers and format citations?

Yes, you can search PubMed and Google Scholar to discover relevant papers and extract metadata. The tool orchestrates discovery, retrieves metadata, and produces clean BibTeX entries for manuscript preparation.

Does citation-management validate DOI consistency and BibTeX field requirements?

Yes, citation-management validates DOI consistency and enforces required-field conformance for BibTeX entries. It checks proper citation-key conventions and BibTeX syntax to support end-to-end bibliography workflows.

How do I build a reproducible bibliography from multiple PubMed IDs?

Building a reproducible bibliography from PubMed IDs requires retrieving metadata for each identifier and generating validated BibTeX entries. This process ensures proper citation-key conventions and harmonizes references for scientific manuscripts.
