academic-paper-helper

What problem does it solve?

Academic-paper-helper reduces the time and friction of preparing conference-ready manuscripts by automating LaTeX template creation, BibTeX citation management, formatting checks, and pre-submission validation so authors can focus on content instead of formatting and compilation issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Conference templates: Generate complete LaTeX skeletons for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ACL and other common venues to match template and style constraints.
• BibTeX management: Create and normalize BibTeX entries from messy inputs, enforce title and author casing rules, and add DOI metadata when available.
• Writing and format checks: Run academic-writing style checks (structure, passive/active voice guidance, abstract length) and verify figure/table/ citation consistency.
• LaTeX diagnostics: Diagnose common compilation errors, suggest fixes for missing packages, file path issues, and undefined citations.
• Pre-submission workflow: Provide a checklist-driven workflow for final verification including page limits, citation formatting, and supplementary material readiness.
• Use case: Rapidly scaffold a NeurIPS submission, convert collected references into a clean references.bib, fix LaTeX compile errors, and produce a submission checklist.

Quick Start

Generate a NeurIPS LaTeX skeleton titled "Efficient Transformers", produce a normalized references.bib from the following citation list, and run the pre-submission checklist.
