What problem does it solve?
Validate bibliography files for syntax correctness, required fields, and format-specific rules to prevent data integrity issues in research workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-format validation: checks BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, EndNote XML, CSL JSON for syntax, field presence, and entry structure.
- Error & warning reporting: detects missing required fields, unbalanced braces, invalid entry types, and malformed XML/JSON.
- Practical use case: when preparing a manuscript, run validations on your .bib, .ris, or .xml references to catch errors before submission.
Quick Start
Run the validation script against your bibliography file to verify syntax, completeness, and format compliance.
