SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

It helps you convert manuscript text into strict Nature/CNS-family citation exports by splitting long inputs into citable segments, searching defensibly within the right journal-family scope, and producing reference-manager-ready files with evidence notes that reduce overclaiming.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Segment-level citation mapping: splits Chinese or English manuscript text into stable segment IDs (e.g., S001, S002) and links each segment to candidate papers.
  • Strict journal-family filtering: limits discovery to Nature Portfolio, Science family, Cell Press, or flagship-only scopes (Nature/Science/Cell), with conservative inclusion rules.
  • Reference-manager exports by default: outputs ENW/EndNote-tagged, RIS, or Zotero RDF for downstream import.
  • Long-text stability: switches to batch/section-style processing for long articles and writes partial checkpoints to avoid losing progress.
  • Bilingual-aware review mode: accepts Chinese manuscript text and returns segment evidence notes in Chinese while searching using scientific concepts.

Quick Start

Use the nature-citation skill by giving it your manuscript text and asking for Nature/CNS and Zotero RDF export, optionally enabling HTML artifacts for interactive curation.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-citation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find Nature or CNS-family citations for specific manuscript segments?

To find Nature or CNS-family citations, the tool segments manuscript text into stable IDs and searches approved journals using the Crossref API. It then maps each segment to candidate papers, generating reference-manager-ready files with evidence notes to prevent overclaiming.

Can I export literature tracing results directly into Zotero or EndNote?

Yes, literature tracing results export directly into Zotero or EndNote. The tool generates reference-manager-ready files including Zotero RDF, RIS, and ENW formats, allowing seamless downstream import without missing or fabricated metadata.

Does the citation search tool support Chinese manuscripts for literature tracing?

Yes, the citation search tool supports Chinese manuscripts for literature tracing. It accepts Chinese text, returns segment evidence notes in Chinese, and searches defensibly using underlying scientific concepts within the strict Nature, Science, and Cell-family journal scope.

What is the best way to handle long text citation search without losing progress?

The best way to handle long text citation search is batched processing. The tool switches to batch or section-style processing for long articles and writes partial checkpoints, ensuring segment-to-citation mapping and Crossref retrieval progress are never lost.

What are the limitations of using strict journal-family filtering for citation discovery?

The limitation of strict journal-family filtering is that discovery is restricted solely to Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press. This conservative scope excludes other high-quality journals to ensure defensible evidence-grade citations, potentially missing relevant broader literature.
