alterlab-citation-mgmt
From the author
Manages citations for academic research — searches Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extracts complete metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, and arXiv IDs (CrossRef, doi.org content negotiation, NCBI E-utilities, arXiv API), validates BibTeX entries for required fields, format, and duplicates, and generates or cleans properly formatted BibTeX. Use when finding papers, converting DOIs to BibTeX, cleaning or deduplicating a .bib file, checking reference metadata in scientific writing, or building a bibliography. To prove that cited references actually exist or to flag fabricated or retracted citations prefer alterlab-citation-verifier; for Zotero library operations use alterlab-pyzotero.

- alterlab-citation-verifierAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsVerifies that every bibliography entry actually exists by cross-checking Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv (no API key required) plus doi.org DOI registration, fuzzy-matching title and authors (difflib ratio >= 0.70), flagging retractions recorded by Crossref (including Retraction Watch data) or OpenAlex, and emitting per-entry JSON verdicts in the AlterLab citation-hallucination taxonomy (TF/PAC/IH/PH/SH); a companion script scores whether a cited abstract supports a claim (SH). Accepts BibTeX, DOI/arXiv lists, or pasted references, and reports unverified instead of passing anything it could not check. Use when the request mentions verify citations, check references, fabricated or hallucinated references, fake DOI, retraction check, bibliography audit, reference existence check, or whether a source supports a claim. For drafting a manuscript prefer alterlab-paper-writer; for dead hyperlinks prefer alterlab-link-health. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
- alterlab-paper-writerAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsDrafts and revises academic papers through a 12-agent pipeline with hardened LaTeX output (apa7 class, PDF compiled from LaTeX), supporting IMRaD, literature review, theoretical, case study, policy brief, and conference paper structures, APA 7.0 (default), Chicago, MLA, IEEE, and Vancouver citation formats, bilingual abstracts (English plus the author's language, e.g. Turkish or Traditional Chinese), and multi-format output (LaTeX, DOCX, PDF, Markdown). Use when the request mentions write paper, academic paper, paper outline, write abstract, revise paper, check citations, convert to LaTeX, guide my paper, parse reviews, revision roadmap, or makale yaz, akademik makale, özet yaz, makaleyi revize et, hakem yorumları, or 寫論文, 學術論文, 論文大綱, 寫摘要, 修改論文, 檢查引用, 引導我寫論文, 審查意見, 修訂路線圖. Its citation-check mode formats and inserts citations while drafting; for a standalone anti-hallucination check that cited references actually exist prefer alterlab-citation-verifier instead.

- alterlab-literature-reviewAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsConducts comprehensive, systematic literature reviews across multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar), with PRISMA 2020 flow tracking, study screening (title/abstract and full-text), evidence-table extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment (RoB 2, ROBINS-I, AMSTAR 2), producing professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver). Use when running a systematic or scoping literature review, research synthesis, or broad literature search, building a PRISMA flow diagram, screening studies, extracting an evidence table, or assessing risk of bias across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. For quantitative pooling of effect sizes (forest/funnel plots) use alterlab-meta-analysis; for an open-ended multi-agent investigation, fact-check, or Socratic research-question work use alterlab-deep-research.

- alterlab-pyzoteroAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsInteract with Zotero reference management libraries using the pyzotero Python client — retrieve, create, update, and delete items, collections, tags, and attachments via the Zotero Web API v3. Use when working with Zotero libraries programmatically, managing bibliographic references, exporting citations, searching library contents, uploading PDF attachments, or building research automation workflows that integrate with Zotero.

- citation-managementK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsComprehensive citation management for academic research. Search OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.Science★ 54.5K
- alterlab-bgpt-searchAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsSearch scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental evidence extracted from full-text studies via the BGPT MCP server (`search_papers`, plus `lookup_paper` by DOI), returning 25+ fields per paper (methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, limitations, conclusions). Use when running a literature review or evidence synthesis, or when needing experimental details (sample sizes, effect sizes, methods, quality scores) that abstracts alone do not provide.
