About this skill

Check BibTeX entries for completeness, DOI resolution, and broken links. Verify required fields per entry type (article, book, inproceedings), resolve and validate DOIs via the CrossRef API, check URL accessibility, and flag duplicate entries, missing abstracts, and inconsistent formatting. Use when preparing a manuscript bibliography for journal submission, auditing a shared .bib file before a project milestone, after merging bibliographies from multiple sources, when citations render incorrectly, or as a CI check on version-controlled .bib files.
