AI4Scholar Auto Citation And BibTeX

Use this skill to add real citations to a user's academic text with AI4Scholar auto_cite, then audit whether the citations actually support the claims.

Core Rules

• auto_cite reduces fabricated citation risk but does not remove human verification.
• Never accept an added citation without checking sentence-level support.
• Do not add references to unsupported claims just to make the paragraph look scholarly.
• Keep the user's original data and claims intact unless asked to rewrite.
• Output references plus verification status.

auto_cite	Add real citations to academic text; supports IEEE, APA, Vancouver, and Nature styles; returns cited text, references, and BibTeX if available

Before Calling auto_cite

Clarify or infer:

• Citation style: APA, IEEE, Vancouver, or Nature.
• Field: management, psychology, neuroscience, BCI, HCI, text mining, etc.
• Preference: recent five-year papers, top journals, classic foundations, or mixed.
• Whether the text is Chinese or English.
• Whether the output should preserve wording or lightly polish prose.

Auto-Citation Workflow

1. Segment the text into claim units.
2. Identify claims that need citations:
   • theoretical mechanism,
   • empirical fact,
   • method precedent,
   • measurement source,
   • benchmark claim,
   • statistical or neuroscience convention.
3. Call auto_cite with the citation style and text.
4. For every inserted citation, build an audit table:
   • sentence,
   • citation,
   • support strength,
   • DOI/ID,
   • action.
5. Remove or flag weak citations.
6. Return:
   • cited text,
   • reference list,
   • BibTeX,
   • verification warnings.

Beginner Prompt

Use AI4Scholar auto_cite to add APA 7th citations to the following Introduction paragraph.
Prioritize real top-journal and recent five-year literature, while preserving necessary classics.
Return the cited text, reference list, BibTeX, and a sentence-level citation-support audit table.

Red Flags

• Citation supports a nearby topic but not the exact claim.
• Method citation is used to support a theory claim.
• Review paper is used where primary empirical evidence is needed.
• A preprint is cited as final evidence when a peer-reviewed version exists.
