SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual work of turning manuscript text and standalone claims into defensible, reference-ready citations, especially when you need strict Nature, CNS, or flagship-only support.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Segmented citation mapping: Splits long passages into stable segments and matches each segment to candidate papers with conservative support grading.
  • Strict journal-family filtering: Searches within Nature Portfolio, Science family, Cell Press, or flagship-only scope instead of loosely related journals.
  • Reference export and review: Produces EndNote, RIS, or Zotero RDF files and can generate HTML, TSV, JSON, and Markdown review artifacts for manual screening.
  • Use case: A researcher pastes a paragraph from a paper draft, asks for Nature/CNS support, and receives segment-by-segment citation suggestions plus a downloadable reference file.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to split your manuscript text, find strict Nature or CNS citations, and export the results in the reference-manager format you want.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-citation

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Nature-style citations to a manuscript paragraph automatically?

To add Nature-style citations, segment your manuscript text and let the system match each claim to candidate papers. It applies strict Nature-family journal filtering and conservative support grading to ensure defensible citations.

Can I export manuscript citations to EndNote, RIS, or Zotero RDF formats?

Yes, you can export manuscript citations to EndNote, RIS, or Zotero RDF formats. The system generates reference-manager-ready export files alongside HTML, TSV, JSON, and Markdown review artifacts for manual screening.

What is segment-by-segment citation mapping for academic writing?

Segment-by-segment citation mapping splits long passages into stable segments and matches each segment to candidate papers. This process uses Crossref-led discovery and conservative support grading to find strict journal-family support.

Does the citation search support both Chinese and English academic manuscripts?

Yes, citation search supports both Chinese and English academic writing tasks. You can process manuscript text, find support for statements, and map citations regardless of the manuscript language.

Can I filter citation search results to only Nature Portfolio, Cell Press, or Science family journals?

Yes, you can filter citation search results to strict journal families. The system searches within Nature Portfolio, Science family, Cell Press, or flagship-only scope instead of loosely related journals.

How do I process long passages for batch citation mapping?

For batch citation mapping of long passages, the system segments the text into stable parts and processes each segment individually. It uses Crossref-led discovery and support grading to match claims across the entire passage.
