SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents manuscript integrity failures by verifying that each bibliography entry is real, accurately described, and actually supports the specific claims where it is cited.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Existence & authenticity checks: confirms cited works can be located online via arXiv/DOI/venue records.
  • Metadata correctness verification: validates authors, title, year, and venue against canonical indexes (e.g., DBLP, ACL Anthology, OpenReview).
  • Context appropriateness auditing: evaluates whether the cited paper truly supports the surrounding sentence claim, flagging wrong-context, weak, or unsupported uses.
  • Optional uncited-entry detection: when enabled, reports bib entries that appear unused in the paper as a detect-only advisory.
  • Action-safe operation: supports a soft-only mode that freezes bib files and proposes sentence rewrites instead of mutating .bib.

Quick Start

Run citation-audit on your paper directory (or provide your bib file) to produce CITATION_AUDIT.md and CITATION_AUDIT.json with per-reference verdicts and context audit results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that LaTeX citations actually match the referenced papers?▼

To verify LaTeX citations match referenced papers, audit your .bib files and .tex context against canonical indexes. This process cross-checks bibliographic metadata and confirms the cited work supports the specific sentence claim, preventing research integrity failures before submission.

What is citation context checking and why is it needed for research integrity?▼

Citation context checking evaluates whether a cited paper truly supports the surrounding sentence claim. It is needed for research integrity to flag wrong-context, weak, or unsupported uses in your manuscript, ensuring your bibliographic entries are real, accurately described, and contextually appropriate.

How do I check if bib entries exist online before submitting a paper?▼

You can check if bib entries exist online by performing real web, DBLP, and arXiv lookups. This confirms your cited works can be located via arXiv, DOI, or venue records, validating authors, title, year, and venue against canonical metadata indexes.

Can I detect unused bib entries in my LaTeX project without modifying the bib file?▼

Yes, you can detect unused bib entries in soft-only mode without modifying the bib file. This mode freezes your .bib files and operates as a detect-only advisory, reporting bib entries that appear unused while proposing sentence rewrites instead of mutating the original bibliography.

Does citation auditing work with ACL Anthology and OpenReview metadata?▼

Yes, citation auditing works with ACL Anthology and OpenReview metadata. The verification process validates authors, title, year, and venue against canonical indexes including DBLP, ACL Anthology, and OpenReview to ensure your bibliography entries are authentic and accurately described.

What format are citation audit results reported in?▼

Citation audit results are reported in a machine-readable JSON verdict ledger and a human-readable Markdown report. These files contain per-reference verdicts and context audit results, providing comprehensive submission pre-flight checks for your LaTeX paper directory.
