FAQPage Schema
How do I find missing BibTeX entries in my LaTeX project?

To find missing BibTeX entries in a LaTeX project, audit your .tex files to detect citations without corresponding bibliography entries. The skill scans your project, identifies gaps, and proposes validated BibTeX entries with corrected metadata for review.

What is the best way to verify metadata and fix BibTeX field errors?

The best way to verify metadata and fix BibTeX field errors is to run a schema conformity audit. This checks existing fields for accuracy, enforces balanced braces, ensures validity, and generates a review-ready proposal for corrected entries.

Can I automatically apply proposed BibTeX updates without manual review?

No, proposed BibTeX updates are not applied automatically without manual review. The skill generates safe, review-ready proposals for missing or corrected entries and only applies validated updates after the user explicitly confirms the changes.

Does this bibliography audit work with the AEA LaTeX template?

Yes, bibliography auditing works with the AEA LaTeX template. The skill optionally installs and applies the official AEA LaTeX template after user confirmation, ensuring headlines are capitalized and styled according to AEA guidelines.

How does the skill track citation verification provenance?

Citation verification provenance is tracked by recording the verifier identity within the BibTeX entry metadata. This ensures that every proposed correction or new entry generated during the audit maintains a clear record of its validation history.
