nature-citationv1.0.0

A materials science researcher drafting a Nature Catalysis submission needs 15-20 verified citations supporting claims about oxygen evolution electrocatalysts. They paste each claim and the skill finds real papers via CrossRef and arXiv, verifies DOIs, checks retraction status, and formats them in Nature numbered style.

Before submitting to Science, a lab verifies every reference in their manuscript using Mode 2. The skill cross-checks each DOI against CrossRef, flags metadata mismatches, searches RetractionWatch for retracted papers, and flags any reference that doesn't actually support its cited claim.

A PhD student writing a literature review uses Mode 1 to find citations for each major claim in their draft. The skill first checks their personal LitReview library, then searches CrossRef and top journals, returning ranked candidates with support assessments and citation counts.

A principal investigator preparing an NIH R01 grant needs citations to support background claims. The skill retrieves verified references, checks retraction status to avoid citing retracted work, and exports a BibTeX file ready for import into their reference manager.

After a manuscript is accepted, an author exports the full verified reference list into RIS format for EndNote, ENW for submission portal upload, and Zotero RDF for their personal library. The skill ensures every entry passes the verification checklist before export.

The core citation-finding and verification features are free with a monthly limit (e.g., 50 verifications). Premium tiers unlock unlimited verifications, priority DOI resolution, batch export, and integration with institutional libraries.

Universities, research institutes, and corporate R&D labs purchase annual site licenses for all affiliated researchers. Includes API access, custom journal abbreviation lists, and priority support for large-scale reference audits.

Journal publishers and submission platforms (e.g., Editorial Manager, ScholarOne) integrate the skill as a white-label reference verification API. Every submitted manuscript gets automatically checked for retracted, misattributed, or unverifiable references before peer review.
