SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Citation-management automates the end-to-end workflow of discovering, extracting, validating, and formatting scholarly references, reducing manual effort and errors in literature workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover: search Google Scholar and PubMed to locate relevant papers and generate metadata.
  • Validate: verify DOIs, author lists, years, and other fields for accuracy.
  • Format: convert metadata into clean BibTeX entries ready for LaTeX workflows.
  • Use Case: a researcher compiling a literature review can automatically assemble a complete, error-free BibTeX bibliography from a mixed set of DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, and URLs.

Quick Start

Provide a list of identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, or URLs) and the tool will fetch metadata, generate BibTeX entries, and validate them.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically convert DOIs and PMIDs into BibTeX entries?

To convert DOIs and PMIDs into BibTeX entries, provide a list of identifiers to the tool and it will fetch metadata from CrossRef and PubMed, validate the data, and output formatted BibTeX citations automatically. This streamlines building literature reviews and bibliographies.

What is the best way to validate metadata accuracy for a LaTeX bibliography?

Validating metadata for a LaTeX bibliography involves verifying DOIs, normalizing author lists, and checking publication years. This tool automates that validation by querying CrossRef and PubMed, ensuring your references are accurate before formatting them into clean BibTeX entries.

Can I use Google Scholar search results to generate BibTeX citations automatically?

Yes, you can generate BibTeX citations from Google Scholar search results. The tool searches Google Scholar and PubMed to locate relevant papers, extracts complete metadata, and applies formatting rules to produce error-free BibTeX entries ready for your LaTeX workflow.

Does this citation tool work with arXiv IDs and URLs in addition to DOIs?

Yes, this citation tool works with arXiv IDs and URLs alongside DOIs and PMIDs. You can provide a mixed set of these identifiers, and it will fetch the corresponding metadata, validate the fields, and format everything into a unified BibTeX bibliography.

Why does my automated BibTeX formatting fail on incomplete metadata?

Automated BibTeX formatting fails on incomplete metadata when required fields like DOIs or author names are missing or invalid. This tool mitigates that by implementing robust data handling, CrossRef lookups, and author normalization to extract and verify complete metadata before formatting.
