2 things to look at
- 13 days oldThe repository was created 13 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Build and audit literature, citation, experimental-fact, and claim-to-evidence records for a Chinese STEM thesis. Use for Zotero or Better BibTeX integration, public academic search, candidate literature pools, evidence matrices, citation verification, reference deduplication, experimental claim audits, or suspected fabricated/mismatched citations.

Thesis Evidence Engineering
Separate discovery from citation. A search result is not a thesis reference.
Evidence lanes
Literature
- Search OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, publisher pages, DOI resolvers, or configured academic MCP tools.
- Save results as
candidaterecords. - Verify title, authors, year, venue, DOI, and relevant full-text passage.
- Add selected records to Zotero or a controlled BibTeX file.
- Use the real citekey in the evidence matrix.
- Map each citation to the exact claim it supports.
Never scrape Google Scholar result pages. Never create a DOI or BibTeX entry from memory.
Experiments
- Prefer raw instrument exports, lab records, and native plotting files.
- Use published small papers and reviewer responses to locate facts, then reconcile them with raw records.
- Treat presentation-derived values as provisional until traced to raw data.
- Register conflicts instead of selecting a convenient value.
Computation
Accept a computational result only when an actual case, log, settings, and output exist. Route validation to thesis-computational-evidence.
Source priority
Read references/source-priority.md whenever sources conflict. Read references/evidence-model.md before creating or changing ledgers.
Writing boundary
- Cite literature for general knowledge, prior findings, methods, and mechanism hypotheses.
- Cite experiment IDs or figure/table records for the author's results.
- Label interpretations as interpretations when direct evidence is unavailable.
- Do not cite a review as proof of a specific primary experiment unless the review itself is the claim source.
- Do not cite a source that mentions the topic but does not support the sentence.
Deterministic tools
Audit Markdown citations against a verified bibliography:
python scripts/audit_citations.py chapter.md references.bib --strict \
--report reports/citations.json
Audit the claim ledger:
python scripts/audit_claim_ledger.py reports/claim_ledger.csv \
--project-root . --strict --report reports/claims.json
Build an evidence-matrix shell from search candidates and BibTeX:
python scripts/build_evidence_matrix.py candidates.csv references.bib \
--output literature/evidence_matrix.csv
Read references/citation-workflow.md for Zotero and CSL responsibilities.
Stop conditions
Block final prose when:
- the citekey is missing;
- metadata conflicts with DOI/publisher records;
- the supporting passage cannot be located;
- a numerical claim lacks an experiment or model source;
- a mechanism claim exceeds the analytical method;
- the same sample label maps to conflicting data and no authoritative correction exists.
