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.

2. Build the citation inventory
