SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Finding defensible Nature/CNS-family references for manuscript claims is slow and error-prone: you must split text into citable statements, search scholarly databases, verify journal scope, and format exports for reference managers. This Skill automates that pipeline while keeping evidence grading conservative. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Segment-level citation mapping: Splits manuscript text into stable segments (S001, S002, ...), generates English search queries per segment, and maps each to candidate papers from Nature Portfolio, the AAAS Science family, or Cell Press. - Reference-manager exports: Writes a single ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF file without inventing missing bibliographic fields, plus optional HTML/TSV/JSON review artifacts with year filtering and selective download. - Long-text batch processing: Handles 10+ segment inputs with batch mode, partial checkpoint exports, and automatic retries on transient Crossref failures. - Use Case: Paste a Chinese or English Introduction paragraph, ask for "CNS及子刊引用,导出 Zotero RDF", and receive a segment-to-reference correspondence table plus an importable .rdf file and an HTML browser for manual screening. ## Quick Start Add Nature/CNS citations to this manuscript paragraph, segment by segment, and export the results as a RIS file for EndNote.

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 or CNS citations to a manuscript paragraph automatically?

Paste the manuscript text and request Nature-series or CNS citations. The skill segments the text into citable statements, searches Crossref with English concept queries, filters to accepted journal families, and returns a segment-to-reference mapping with an export file.

What export formats does the citation search support for EndNote and Zotero?

The script exports one reference-manager file per run in ENW (default), RIS, or Zotero RDF format. EndNote imports RIS via the Reference Manager (RIS) option, and Zotero imports the RDF file directly.

Can I restrict citation search to only Nature, Science, and Cell flagship journals?

Yes, use the flagship scope (--scope flagship) or phrases like "只看正刊" to restrict results to Nature, Science, and Cell only. Other scopes cover Nature Portfolio, the Science family, Cell Press, or all CNS subjournals.

How does the skill handle long manuscripts with many segments?

For more than about 10 segments, it switches to batch mode using --batch-size or --max-segments, writing partial checkpoint exports after each batch. Transient Crossref failures are retried automatically with exponential backoff.

Does the citation search work with Chinese manuscript text?

Yes, it accepts Chinese manuscript text and Chinese requests like "分段引用" or "补引用". It translates scientific concepts into English search queries while returning segment notes and support grades in Chinese by default.

Why are some citation candidates labeled metadata-only?

A metadata-only candidate means the title and Crossref metadata suggest relevance, but the abstract or publisher page has not been verified. The skill never presents such papers as confirmed support until a human reviews the full evidence.
