SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of citation errors and incomplete metadata by helping you reliably discover papers, extract authoritative bibliographic fields, validate them, and output clean BibTeX for scientific writing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Academic paper discovery: Query Google Scholar and PubMed to find relevant papers for your topic.
  • Metadata extraction from identifiers: Convert DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, or article URLs into structured BibTeX-ready metadata.
  • BibTeX formatting and cleanup: Standardize formatting, sort entries, and deduplicate bibliography files.
  • Citation validation: Check required fields, DOI format, author formatting, page-range formatting, and detect likely duplicates.
  • Use Case: When drafting a manuscript, convert a list of DOIs into a single BibTeX file, then validate and deduplicate it before submission.

Quick Start

Use the citation-management skill to convert a DOI list into a cleaned, validated BibTeX bibliography by telling your AI to convert dois.txt into final_references.bib using the provided scripts, including formatting and validation.

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 citation automatically?

To convert a DOI to BibTeX, you can use a citation management tool that queries CrossRef and PubMed APIs to extract authoritative metadata and format it into a validated BibTeX entry. This ensures your citation fields are complete and accurate.

Can I search PubMed and Google Scholar to find papers and generate citations?

Yes, you can search PubMed and Google Scholar to discover academic papers and automatically generate their citations. The tool retrieves bibliographic metadata directly from these databases and formats the output into clean BibTeX.

How do I clean and deduplicate an existing BibTeX bibliography file?

To clean and deduplicate a BibTeX file, run a citation validation script that standardizes entry formatting, sorts records, and detects likely duplicates. This process checks required fields, DOI formats, and author formatting before finalizing the bibliography.

What is the best way to validate citation correctness for scientific writing?

The best way to validate citation correctness is to verify metadata against required field rules and run DOI resolution checks. This process confirms that author formatting, page ranges, and structural consistency meet scientific writing standards.

Does citation management work with arXiv IDs and PMIDs, or only DOIs?

Citation management works with arXiv IDs, PMIDs, and DOIs. The tool queries arXiv APIs and PubMed E-utilities alongside CrossRef to extract structured, BibTeX-ready metadata from any of these academic identifiers.

Why are my extracted BibTeX entries missing required fields like author or page numbers?

BibTeX entries missing required fields often result from incomplete metadata extraction from the source API. Running a citation validation check enforces required field rules and DOI resolution to detect and flag these gaps for correction.
