SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Prevents citation mistakes by helping you discover papers, extract reliable bibliographic metadata, and produce clean BibTeX entries that validate correctly before you write.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Paper discovery from academic databases: Search Google Scholar and PubMed to find relevant literature fast.
  • Identifier-to-metadata extraction: Convert DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, and article URLs into structured citation metadata using CrossRef, PubMed E-utilities, and arXiv APIs.
  • BibTeX generation, formatting, and validation: Clean and standardize BibTeX, deduplicate entries, and validate required fields and DOI/format consistency to reduce reference errors.
  • Writing workflow integration: Build and verify a bibliography for manuscripts, theses, and scientific reports, including checks for duplicates and common formatting pitfalls.

Quick Start

Use the citation-management skill to convert a DOI into a ready-to-paste BibTeX entry by running: extract metadata from DOI 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2 and output it as BibTeX for my references file.
