Bibliography Management Skill

This skill handles citation management and format conversion.

1. Primary Source

  • File: bibliography.bib (BibTeX format) is the master source for citations.

2. Citation Keys

  • Format: authorYEARkeyword (lowercase).
    • Example: mitchell2019artificial, bolukbasi2016debiasing.
  • Unique: Ensure keys are unique.

3. Conversion (BibTeX <-> CSL YAML)

To convert between BibTeX and CSL YAML (often used in Quarto frontmatter):

  • Use Pandoc (if more than 10 citations) or quarto pandoc:
    • quarto pandoc bibliography.bib -t csljson -o bibliography.json
    • quarto pandoc bibliography.bib -t markdown -o bibliography.md
  • Manual: If a specific CSL YAML file is needed (e.g., references.yml), manual entry might be required if automated tools aren't configured.

4. Maintenance

  • Review: Periodically check that all entries in bibliography.bib are cited in at least one exercise.
  • DOIs: Ensure DOIs are present for all journal articles and books where available.
  • Localization: When adding or updating entries, check for available translations or language-specific editions. Prefer multilingual sources when possible.
