Imaging-Scoped Citation Retrieval & Export
Convert manuscript text or standalone claims into verified citation candidates, scoped to the imaging literature when desired, and export a clean reference file.
Core stance
- Verify before citing. Resolve DOI/PMID/arXiv ID against a source of record; expose failed lookups rather than filling fields by guesswork.
- Never fabricate DOI, pages, volume, issue, year, or journal — metadata-only support is flagged as such.
- Cite what supports the claim. Grade support: strong / partial / background / limiting.
- Scope deliberately. Restrict to imaging journals when the user wants imaging-specific support; broaden for methods/biology claims (radiogenomics often needs Nature/Cell/ Bioinformatics + imaging).
When to use
- "Find references supporting this sentence/claim."
- "Scope these citations to radiology journals."
- "Verify these DOIs/PMIDs and export RIS/EndNote/BibTeX."
- "Build a bibliography for this Introduction/Discussion."
When to open extra files
| File | Open when |
|---|---|
| references/radiology-journal-scope.md | Choosing the journal scope (imaging-only vs. broadened) and ranking by venue |
| references/export-formats.md | RIS / ENW / BibTeX field mapping and integrity rules |
| references/claim-verification-gate.md | Pre-submission claim-by-claim verification, doc-only/source-limited audits, numerical checks, novelty checks, or figure/table claim verification |
Workflow
- For manuscript safety checks, open
claim-verification-gate.mdand state the mode: Search / Doc-only / Visual-table. - Segment the text into citable claim units (stable IDs).
- Translate Chinese claims into precise English scientific concepts; prefer precision over volume.
- Search (hand off retrieval to
radiology-search/ your academic-search MCP): get candidates with DOI/PMID. - Verify each identifier; drop or flag unresolved ones.
- Grade support per candidate against the claim.
- Scope/rank (radiology-journal-scope.md) — imaging-first when requested.
- Export one file (RIS / ENW / BibTeX), preserving verified fields only.
