Selecting a reference manager and applying citation styles. Compares Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, Paperpile; covers APA/Vancouver/ACS/Nature styles, DOI management, citation tracking, and Word/Google Docs/LaTeX integration. Use when setting up a reference workflow or fixing citation formatting.
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
# Citation Management for Scientific Writing ## Overview Citation management is the systematic practice of collecting, organizing, annotating, and inserting bibliographic references in scientific documents. A well-chosen reference manager reduces manual formatting errors, keeps libraries synchronized across devices, and integrates cleanly with word processors and LaTeX. This guide covers tool selection, citation style conventions, DOI and persistent identifier workflows, citation tracking, and common pitfalls that account for a large share of post-publication corrections and retractions related to reference errors. ## Key Concepts ### 1. Reference Manager Capabilities and Tool Comparison All major reference managers share a common core: they store metadata (author, title, journal, year, DOI), generate formatted citations in a chosen style, and provide a browser extension for one-click capture from publisher pages. The differences lie in collaboration features, cloud storage, word processor plugin support, price, and data portability. | Feature | Zotero | Mendeley | EndNote | Paperpile | |---------|--------|----------|---------|-----------| …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/citation-management@sha256:23ab12226280b06cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, 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.
