Validate Bibliography
Cross-reference all citations in source files against bibliography entries.
Steps
-
Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys
-
Scan all source files for citation keys:
.texfiles: look for\cite{,\citet{,\citep{,\citeauthor{,\citeyear{.qmdfiles: look for@key,[@key],[@key1; @key2]- Extract all unique citation keys used
-
Cross-reference:
- Missing entries: Citations used in source files but NOT in bibliography
- Unused entries: Entries in bibliography not cited anywhere
- Potential typos: Similar-but-not-matching keys
-
Check entry quality for each bib entry:
- Required fields present (author, title, year, journal/booktitle)
- Author field properly formatted
- Year is reasonable
- No malformed characters or encoding issues
-
Report findings:
- List of missing bibliography entries (CRITICAL)
- List of unused entries (informational)
- List of potential typos in citation keys
- List of quality issues
Files to scan:
manuscripts/**/*.tex
Quarto/**/*.qmd
Bibliography location:
