SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill detects citation hygiene issues by identifying placeholders, missing identifiers, and inconsistent metadata that could derail submission.

Core Features & Use Cases

Local first-pass: scans manuscripts and BibTeX files for placeholders, missing identifiers, and inconsistent metadata.
BibTeX hygiene: detects duplicate BibTeX keys and flag inconsistent fields (author, title, year, venue).
Verification readiness: produces a report with actionable next steps and recommended trusted sources for verification before submission.

Quick Start

Run the local scan on your manuscript directory to generate a citations hygiene report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check for missing identifiers and citation placeholders in a manuscript?▼

To check for missing identifiers and citation placeholders in a manuscript, run a local scan on your directory to detect incomplete metadata, flag missing DOIs, and generate a hygiene report for submission readiness.

What is the best way to detect duplicate BibTeX keys and inconsistent fields?▼

The best way to detect duplicate BibTeX keys and inconsistent fields is to perform a local BibTeX hygiene scan, which cross-checks metadata normalization across author, title, year, and venue fields to prevent errors.

Can I verify arXiv IDs, DOIs, and PMIDs before submitting a research paper?▼

Yes, you can verify arXiv IDs, DOIs, and PMIDs before submitting a research paper by cross-checking your in-text citations against trusted sources to ensure metadata completeness and consistency.

Does citation verification work with local drafts and BibTeX files?▼

Citation verification works directly with local drafts and BibTeX files, scanning them to identify inconsistent metadata and missing identifiers to produce an actionable verification readiness report.

Why does my citation metadata normalization fail during manuscript checks?▼

Citation metadata normalization fails during manuscript checks when BibTeX fields are inconsistent or when placeholders and missing identifiers like DOIs and PMIDs are present in the local drafts.
