Create, merge, and deduplicate BibTeX bibliography files using R packages (RefManageR, bibtex). Parse .bib files into structured R objects, merge multiple bibliographies with deduplication by DOI or title similarity, generate entries from DOI/ISBN/arXiv ID, and export clean sorted .bib files. Use when creating a new .bib file for an R Markdown or Quarto project, merging bibliographies from multiple collaborators, deduplicating a .bib that has grown through copy-paste accumulation, or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Manage Bibliography Create, merge, and deduplicate BibTeX bibliography files using R. This skill covers the full lifecycle of bibliography management: parsing existing .bib files into structured R objects, generating new entries from identifiers (DOI, ISBN, arXiv ID), merging multiple bibliographies with intelligent deduplication, and exporting clean, consistently formatted .bib output. ## When to Use - Creating a new .bib file for an R Markdown or Quarto project - Merging bibliographies from multiple collaborators or sources - Deduplicating a .bib file that has grown through copy-paste accumulation - Generating BibTeX entries programmatically from DOIs or other identifiers - Cleaning and standardizing an existing .bib file (consistent keys, sorted fields) ## Inputs - **Required**: Path to one or more .bib files, or a list of DOIs/ISBNs/arXiv IDs - **Optional**: Output .bib file path (default: `references.bib`) - **Optional**: Deduplication strategy (`doi`, `title`, `both`; default: `both`) - **Optional**: Sort order (`author`, `year`, `key`; default: `key`) - **Optional**: Key generation pattern (default: `AuthorYear`) ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/manage-bibliography@sha256:db1a2494122b11aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
