citation-checklisted

# Citation Integrity Auditor ## Heritage and scope This is an original Open Science Skills workflow adapted for experimental social science. It remixes general citation-check and source-verification ideas from Cheng-I Wu's *Academic Research Skills for Claude Code* (CC BY-NC 4.0), especially the separation between citation formatting, existence checks, DOI checks, and uncertainty reporting. Do not copy ARS prose into reports; apply the workflow below. ## Instructions ### 1. Orient before checking Identify the inputs and constraints: - Manuscript source: LaTeX, Markdown, Word export, PDF text, or pasted prose. - Bibliography source: `.bib`, CSL JSON, Zotero export, reference section, footnotes, or mixed. - Target style: default to APA 7 unless the user names a journal or style. - Scope: whole manuscript, one section, bibliography only, or DOI-only pass. - Tool availability: if web lookup, Crossref, DataCite, DOI.org, Semantic Scholar, or OpenAlex are unavailable, mark verification status as `NOT CHECKED` rather than guessing. - For LaTeX/BibTeX, drive the audit off the keys actually `\cite`d in the manuscript (follow `\input`/`\include`), not every entry in a master `.bib`. Only cited keys reach the printed reference list, which is what readers and critics actually check. - Note the bibliography style. Many common styles (`apalike`, `plain`, `unsrt`) do not render the `doi` field, so a wrong or dead DOI is invisible in the compiled PDF and ranks as source-hygiene unless
