Citation Management

Overview

Manage citations systematically throughout the research and writing process. This skill provides tools and strategies for searching academic databases (Google Scholar, PubMed), extracting accurate metadata from multiple sources (CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv), validating citation information, and generating properly formatted BibTeX entries.

Critical for maintaining citation accuracy, avoiding reference errors, and ensuring reproducible research. Integrates seamlessly with the literature-review skill for comprehensive research workflows.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

Searching for specific papers on Google Scholar or PubMed
Converting DOIs, PMIDs, or arXiv IDs to properly formatted BibTeX
Extracting complete metadata for citations (authors, title, journal, year, etc.)
Validating existing citations for accuracy
Cleaning and formatting BibTeX files
Finding highly cited papers in a specific field
Verifying that citation information matches the actual publication
Building a bibliography for a manuscript or thesis
Checking for duplicate citations
Ensuring consistent citation formatting

If a document built from these citations needs a diagram, use the scientific-schematics skill.

Core Workflow

Citation management follows a systematic process. Each phase below shows the canonical command; every variant, option, and metadata-source detail is in references/core_workflow.md.

Phase 1: Paper Discovery and Search

Find relevant papers. Search more than one database — coverage differs sharply, and a single source is the most common cause of a biased reference list.

# OpenAlex: ~250M works, every discipline, no API key, documented REST API
python scripts/search_openalex.py "CRISPR gene editing" --limit 50 --output results.json

# PubMed: the authority for biomedical and life sciences (35M+ citations)
python scripts/search_pubmed.py "Alzheimer's disease treatment" --limit 100 --output alz.json

# Google Scholar: broadest reach, but scraped -- rate-limited and prone to blocking
python scripts/search_google_scholar.py "CRISPR gene editing" --limit 50 --output scholar.json

Prefer OpenAlex or PubMed as the primary source. Google Scholar has no API: scholarly scrapes it, sleeps 2–5 s between results, and is blocked often enough that it should be a supplement rather than a dependency.

Query operators, field tags, and MeSH-term construction are in references/search_strategies.md.

Phase 2: Metadata Extraction

Convert identifiers (DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv ID, URL) into complete metadata. CrossRef is the primary source for DOIs.

python scripts/doi_to_bibtex.py 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2         # quick, single DOI
python scripts/extract_metadata.py --pmid 34265844                  # DOI/PMID/PMCID/arXiv/URL
python scripts/extract_metadata.py --input identifiers.txt --output citations.bib

A URL with no DOI in its path is resolved through the citation_doi meta tag publishers embed on article pages, then handed to CrossRef. Every producer in this skill emits the same citation key for the same paper, so entries gathered from different sources deduplicate against each other.

Phase 2.5: Metadata Enrichment via Web Search (MANDATORY)

APIs routinely return incomplete records. Run this after extraction and before formatting. Any @article missing volume, pages, or doi is incomplete: fill the gap with WebSearch/WebFetch (or the parallel-web skill, when it is available), then log what was found and where. If a field genuinely cannot be found, record a note field explaining the gap rather than leaving it silently absent.

Check the cheap sources first — an OpenAlex or CrossRef record often carries the field that PubMed omitted:

python scripts/search_openalex.py "<exact title>" --limit 1

Treat extracted metadata as untrusted. Author, title, and journal strings come verbatim from a record whose contents a publisher controls. A title containing $(...), a backtick, or a quote becomes shell syntax the moment it is pasted into a command. Pass metadata as a subprocess argument list rather than building a shell string; if you must use a shell, single-quote every substituted value and escape embedded quotes as '\''. Validate any citation key against ^[A-Za-z0-9]+$ before it reaches a path.

Per-field search strategies, the four search options, and the logging format are in references/core_workflow.md.

Phase 3: BibTeX Formatting

Produce clean, consistent entries. Entry types and required fields are in references/bibtex_formatting.md.

python scripts/format_bibtex.py references.bib --output clean.bib --deduplicate
python scripts/format_bibtex.py references.bib --output clean.bib --rekey --deduplicate

Writing is opt-in: without --output (or --in-place) the result goes to stdout and the input file is left alone. Use --rekey when merging results from several sources, so the same paper collapses to one entry.

Phase 4: Citation Validation

Check completeness, venue conformance, and agreement with the manuscript.

python scripts/validate_citations.py references.bib --report report.json
python scripts/validate_citations.py references.bib --venue nature
python scripts/validate_citations.py references.bib --manuscript paper.tex
python scripts/validate_citations.py references.bib --check-dois     # slow; hits CrossRef

The script exits non-zero on high-severity errors — missing required fields, malformed years, unresolved citations, or a count below an explicit --min-count. Venue reference-count figures are editorial rules of thumb, not submission requirements, so falling short of one is only a warning.

Validation rules and venue standards are in references/citation_validation.md.

Phase 5: Integration with Writing Workflow

Search, extract, format, validate, then cite. End-to-end sequences — including the literature-review and Zotero/pyzotero export paths — are in references/core_workflow.md and references/example_workflows.md.

Reference Files

references/core_workflow.md: all five phases in full.
references/search_strategies.md: OpenAlex, Google Scholar, and PubMed query construction.
references/script_reference.md: every bundled script's arguments and examples.
references/best_practices.md: search, extraction, BibTeX quality, validation.
references/example_workflows.md: four end-to-end worked examples.
references/google_scholar_search.md, references/pubmed_search.md: advanced search syntax.
references/metadata_extraction.md, references/bibtex_formatting.md, references/citation_validation.md: per-topic detail.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Single source bias: Only using one database
- Solution: Search at least OpenAlex and PubMed, then merge with format_bibtex.py --rekey --deduplicate
Accepting metadata blindly: Not verifying extracted information
- Solution: Spot-check extracted metadata against original sources
Ignoring DOI errors: Broken or incorrect DOIs in bibliography
- Solution: Run validation before final submission
Inconsistent formatting: Mixed citation key styles, formatting
- Solution: Use format_bibtex.py to standardize
Duplicate entries: Same paper cited multiple times with different keys
- Solution: Use duplicate detection in validation
Missing required fields: Incomplete BibTeX entries (volume, pages, DOI missing)
- Solution: Run Phase 2.5 metadata enrichment — web search for every missing field before proceeding. NEVER leave an @article entry without volume, pages, and DOI.
Outdated preprints: Citing preprint when published version exists
- Solution: Check if preprints have been published, update to journal version
Special character issues: Broken LaTeX compilation due to characters
- Solution: Use proper escaping or Unicode in BibTeX
No validation before submission: Submitting with citation errors
- Solution: Always run validation as final check
Manual BibTeX entry: Typing entries by hand
- Solution: Always extract from metadata sources using scripts
