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 structured guidance for citation verification in academic writing, helping researchers ensure accuracy and avoid fake or misattributed references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactive verification: guide during drafting using WebSearch and Google Scholar to verify each citation.
  • Multi-source validation: leverage DOI-based CrossRef checks, arXiv IDs, and title-based Semantic Scholar lookups to corroborate metadata.
  • Audit-ready outputs: generate clear, actionable feedback and reports for unresolved or mismatched references.
  • Use Case: when preparing a manuscript, run the audit to confirm each citation exists, matches metadata, and produce a traceable verification record.

Quick Start

Run the citation audit on your BibTeX file to generate a verification report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify academic citations in a BibTeX file?

To verify academic citations in a BibTeX file, run a multi-source audit that checks each entry against CrossRef, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar to confirm existence and compare metadata. The process generates a structured report containing a verification score and actionable guidance for any mismatched references.

What is multi-source citation verification and how does it work?

Multi-source citation verification cross-checks references against DOI-based CrossRef records, arXiv IDs, and title-based Semantic Scholar lookups. It compares metadata with tolerance for minor differences to ensure citations exist and are accurately attributed, returning a verification score and source details for each checked reference.

Can I use Semantic Scholar and arXiv to check references without DOIs?

Yes, you can verify references without DOIs using title-based Semantic Scholar lookups and arXiv IDs. The system corroborates metadata across these sources to confirm the citation exists, providing a verification score and actionable feedback even when DOI-based CrossRef checks are not possible.

What's the best way to audit academic references before manuscript submission?

The best way to audit academic references before submission is to run an automated citation verification process on your BibTeX file. This generates an audit-ready report confirming each reference exists, matching metadata across multiple sources, and producing a traceable verification record to avoid fake or misattributed citations.

Does citation verification flag mismatched or unresolved references?

Yes, citation verification flags mismatched or unresolved references by comparing your metadata against validated sources. It returns a structured assessment that includes a verification score, the source used, and specific actionable guidance for correcting any references that cannot be confirmed or exhibit discrepancies.
