Citation Generation
wenxian wenxian is an academic citation generation tool that produces standard citation formats from DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, and other identifiers.
Script : scripts/generate_references.py
RGC does not strictly mandate a citation format, but consistency is essential. Common choices:
Numbered format [1], [2], ...:
[1] Author1, A.B., Author2, C.D., et al. Title of the paper. Journal Name, Volume(Issue): Pages, Year.
Author-date format (APA-style):
Author1, A.B., & Author2, C.D. (Year). Title of the paper. Journal Name, Volume(Issue), Pages. https://doi.org/xxx
Choose one format and apply it consistently throughout the proposal.
Complete Workflow
Define your research area and key search terms
Use search_literature.py to search for relevant literature
Select ~30–50 most relevant references
Collect all DOIs into a text file (one per line)
Use generate_references.py to generate formatted citations
Verify format consistency
Cross-check that no critical references are missing
Ensure your own relevant publications are included
