Guide title
Handling citations in a nonfiction manuscript with pandoc citeproc, CSL styles and Crossref lookups
Coverage
For writers and agents who keep a bibliography for a nonfiction manuscript. It sets out what the pandoc manual, the Crossref REST documentation and the CSL styles README say about citation syntax, styles and checking references by DOI. It is based on documentation only; no API call was made, and the Crossref docs are marked deprecated.
Useful starting points
- A 404 from a DOI lookup does not prove the DOI is invalid; it can mean a different registration agency holds it.
- A query returns results sorted by relevance, so compare title, authors and year before treating the first hit as the right source.
- Record the DOI and lookup date beside each reference, and flag any retraction or correction for a human.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
