Reference Lifecycle

/manage-refsNEW
Literature & References

What it does

Citekey ↔ .bib validation, journal-CSL pandoc rendering, manuscript ↔ rendered DOCX cross-reference QC, [N] ↔ [@key] marker conversion, and native Zotero CWYW field-code injection for co-author Word workflows. Sole writer of manuscript_final.docx and qc/xref_audit.json. Hybrid 3-phase strategy (pandoc draft → CWYW transition → Zotero CWYW for circulation/revision/submission).

Highlights

  • ✓check_citation_keys.py + check_xref.py --strict as the submission gate
  • ✓Bundled journal CSLs: ER, Radiology, AJR, CVIR, KJR, Vancouver — cascade-rejection re-render in seconds
  • ✓Native CSL-JSON CWYW injection (handles webpage / report / non-journal item types correctly)
