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

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

The AI will automatically:

Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
Review and refine through multiple iterations
Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
Save outputs in the figures/ directory

When to add schematics:

Citation workflow diagrams
Literature search methodology flowcharts
Reference management system architectures
Citation style decision trees
Database integration diagrams
Any complex concept that benefits from visualization

For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

Core Workflow

Citation management follows a systematic process:

Use cases

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.
