SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Citation metadata management for researchers is automated, reducing manual effort by discovering papers, extracting and validating metadata, and generating accurate BibTeX entries for seamless manuscript preparation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-database discovery (Google Scholar, PubMed, CrossRef) with comprehensive metadata extraction (authors, title, year, journal/conference, DOI, URL) and automatic BibTeX generation.
  • Citation validation and deduplication to ensure accuracy and prevent duplicates in bibliographies, supporting workflows from literature reviews to manuscript submission.
  • Workflow integration for literature reviews and scientific writing, enabling end-to-end bibliography preparation with minimal manual intervention.

Quick Start

Provide a DOI such as 10.1038/nature12345 to generate a ready-to-use BibTeX entry.
