SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bibtexparser, semanticscholar, arxiv, requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured framework to verify academic citations across multiple sources, reducing fake citations and metadata errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactive verification of DOIs via CrossRef and BibTeX data to ensure existence and correct metadata.
  • arXiv and Semantic Scholar based checks to cover preprints and broader literature; supports title-based searches when identifiers are missing.
  • Consistency verification for LaTeX/BibTeX references, helping writers maintain coherent bibliographies during manuscript preparation.

Quick Start

Run the citation-verification workflow on your BibTeX database to validate references and produce a verification report.

Frequently Asked Questions about citation-verification

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify academic citations and check if references exist?▼

To verify academic citations, this skill cross-checks DOIs via CrossRef and validates arXiv IDs and titles using Semantic Scholar, producing a reliability score for each reference.

Can I validate BibTeX references automatically during manuscript preparation?▼

Yes, you can validate BibTeX references automatically by running the workflow on your BibTeX database to check metadata consistency and confirm existence across multiple data sources.

How does DOI verification work when validating academic references?▼

DOI verification works by querying the CrossRef API to confirm the existence of the identifier and retrieve correct metadata, which is then matched against your parsed BibTeX entries.

Do I need a DOI to verify a citation, or can I search by title?▼

You do not need a DOI to verify a citation, as the skill supports title-based searches through Semantic Scholar and arXiv to confirm references when identifiers are missing.

What is the best way to check arXiv preprints in a bibliography?▼

The best way to check arXiv preprints is using the integrated arXiv library queries that validate preprint identifiers and cross-reference metadata with Semantic Scholar results.
