SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the generation of precise Nature/CNS-style citations from manuscript text, reducing manual search time and ensuring consistent metadata exports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Segment long manuscripts into citable units with stable IDs.
  • Query Crossref for Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press journals and filter by scope.
  • Export reference-manager-ready files in ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF and optionally produce HTML, JSON, and TSV review artifacts for screening.
  • Support batch processing for long articles with checkpointed exports and automatic retry on transient network failures.
  • Language-aware: accepts Chinese input for guidance while performing English-dominated searches.

Quick Start

Provide manuscript text input and run the skill to generate a Nature/CNS citation export and an HTML review visualization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Nature and CNS-style citations from manuscript text?

To generate Nature and CNS-style citations, segment your manuscript text into citable units and query Crossref for matching articles from Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press journals. The tool automatically filters results by scope and exports reference-manager-ready files.

What export formats are supported for reference managers?

Supported reference manager export formats include ENW, RIS, and Zotero RDF. The tool optionally generates HTML, JSON, and TSV review artifacts to help you screen and verify the mapped citations before final import.

Can I process long manuscripts in batches without losing progress?

Yes, you can process long manuscripts in batches with partial checkpoint exports. The system saves progress incrementally and automatically retries transient Crossref network failures to ensure complete citation mapping.

Does Chinese manuscript text work for English citation searches?

Chinese manuscript text works through language-aware search capabilities. The tool accepts Chinese input for guidance while performing English-dominated Crossref queries to accurately retrieve Nature, Science, and Cell Press citations.

What is the best way to review mapped citations before importing them into Zotero?

The best way to review mapped citations is by generating the optional HTML review artifact. This visualization allows you to screen segmented text and mapped references side-by-side before exporting the final Zotero RDF or RIS file.
