Citation Management - Academic Reference and Citation Management Tool

Skill Overview


Citation Management is an intelligent citation management tool aimed at academic researchers. It can automatically search the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, extract paper metadata, verify citation accuracy, and generate references in standard BibTeX format.

Applicable Scenarios

1. Paper Writing and Literature Organization


When writing academic papers or theses, you need to cite many references. This tool helps you quickly search for relevant papers and automatically extract complete metadata such as authors, title, journal, and year, avoiding errors and omissions from manual entry.

2. Reference Format Validation and Cleanup


If you find your reference list messy before submission, or there are duplicate entries or missing fields, this tool can validate DOI validity, detect and fix common errors, remove duplicates, and ensure the reference list meets journal requirements.

3. Batch Metadata Extraction


When you have a batch of DOIs, PMIDs, or arXiv IDs that need to be converted to BibTeX, this tool supports batch processing and automatically retrieves full metadata from APIs such as CrossRef, PubMed, and arXiv, greatly improving efficiency.

Core Features

1. Multi-Database Literature Search


Supports intelligent search across the two major academic databases Google Scholar and PubMed. You can filter by keywords, author, journal, year, and other conditions, and automatically extract paper information and citation data from search results.

2. Metadata Extraction and Conversion


Input a DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or paper URL to automatically retrieve full metadata and generate a BibTeX entry. Supports batch processing, suitable for organizing a library or building a project reference list.

3. Citation Verification and Formatting


Automatically verifies whether a DOI is resolvable, checks that required fields are complete, detects duplicate entries and formatting errors. Provides automatic repair functions and can sort by year or author to generate a tidy, standardized BibTeX file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a DOI to BibTeX?


Just provide the paper's DOI (e.g., 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2). The tool will automatically fetch full metadata from the CrossRef API and generate a standard BibTeX entry including authors, title, journal, volume, pages, and all necessary information.

Which academic databases are supported?


Currently supports Google Scholar (broad interdisciplinary search) and PubMed (biomedical literature). Metadata extraction supports data sources such as CrossRef, PubMed E-utilities, the arXiv API, and DataCite.

Can it detect errors in references?


Yes. The tool verifies DOI validity, checks required fields for completeness, detects duplicate entries, recognizes formatting errors (such as page ranges and author name formats), and can automatically fix common issues.
