Cleans and standardizes BibTeX files for economics journal submissions (AER, QJE, etc.).
Create, merge, and deduplicate BibTeX bibliography files using R packages (RefManageR, bibtex). Parse .bib files into structured R objects, merge multiple bibliographies with deduplication by DOI or title similarity, generate entries from DOI/ISBN/arXiv ID, and export clean sorted .bib files. Use when creating a new .bib file for an R Markdown or Quarto project, merging bibliographies from multiple collaborators, deduplicating a .bib that has grown through copy-paste accumulation, or generating BibTeX entries programmatically from DOIs or other identifiers.
Audits citations in LaTeX files: checks \cite keys exist in .bib files and verifies entries via online literature search. Ideal for proofreading academic papers.
Verifies BibTeX references against CrossRef metadata, identifies unused citations in LaTeX files, generates verification reports. Use for bibliography validation.
