writing-labarchive-entries

To write publication-grade LabArchive notebook entries for scRNA-seq datasets, you must enforce strict YAML frontmatter, fill all entry header fields completely, cover mandated sections by type, and use PubMed MCP integration to verify references.

Publication-grade scientific writing requires template-driven rigor, enforcing mandated sections, structured tables, consistent headers, academic tone, and formatted references suitable for readers unfamiliar with the project to reproduce and evaluate the workflow.

Verify biological and methodological claims by integrating PubMed MCP lookups to validate references and format accurate numbered citations directly within your LabArchive entries.

Dataset documentation applies to four entry types: reference datasets, full analysis pipelines, tool/package evaluations, and educational or literature notes, each with complete mandated section coverage and structured tables.

Template-driven reproducibility requires strict YAML-frontmatter metadata compliance and full field filling with no placeholders; entries fail to capture enough detail if mandated sections are incomplete or biological claims lack PubMed verification.
