SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables researchers to transform meta-analysis outputs into publication-ready manuscripts by automating the assembly and rendering of a Quarto document with an IMRaD structure and embedded figures/tables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IMRaD manuscript scaffolding: organizes sections (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion) around analysis outputs.
  • Inline figure/table integration: embeds 06_analysis outputs as PNGs and tables, with cross-references and citations.
  • Phase-driven workflow: supports progression from outline to final manuscript, including traceability and DOI verification.

Quick Start

Run the end-to-end workflow to assemble and render a publication-ready Quarto manuscript from completed analyses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate drafting a meta-analysis manuscript in Quarto?

To automate drafting a meta-analysis manuscript in Quarto, you can use a workflow that assembles IMRaD sections from analysis outputs and renders them into publication-ready HTML, PDF, and DOCX formats with embedded figures and tables.

How does DOI verification work for citations in a Quarto manuscript?

DOI verification for citations in a Quarto manuscript works by mapping and validating references against established sources during the rendering pipeline. This process ensures reproducible provenance and accurate citation mapping throughout the document.

Can I generate a PRISMA traceability table from analysis outputs in Quarto?

Yes, you can generate a PRISMA traceability table from analysis outputs in Quarto. The manuscript pipeline automatically includes a PRISMA-like traceability table and a study characteristics table derived from data extraction.

Do I need bibtexparser and requests to render meta-analysis manuscripts?

You need bibtexparser and requests to handle citation parsing and DOI verification within the manuscript rendering pipeline. These dependencies ensure that cross-references and citations maintain reproducible provenance across HTML, PDF, and DOCX outputs.

What's the best way to structure a meta-analysis manuscript with embedded figures?

The best way to structure a meta-analysis manuscript with embedded figures is using an IMRaD scaffold that organizes Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections around analysis outputs with inline cross-references.

Why does my Quarto manuscript pipeline fail to embed cross-references?

A Quarto manuscript pipeline might fail to embed cross-references if the analysis outputs are not properly formatted before assembly. Ensuring the phase-driven workflow progresses correctly from outline to final manuscript helps maintain traceability and citation mapping.
