OneCite

Auditable citation normalization for research workflows

Features • Quick Start • Privacy & External Services • 📖 Advanced Usage • 🗺️ Roadmap • 🤝 Contributing

OneCite is a command-line and Python toolkit that turns messy, mixed-format references — DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, ISBNs, URLs, and BibTeX fragments — into auditable BibTeX or CSL-JSON records. Strong identifiers follow documented metadata-service routes; ordinary ambiguous plain-text references are returned as candidates for review and are not auto-promoted by process.

AI-assisted writing, automated literature pipelines, and copy-paste research habits produce ever more reference objects in ever more formats — and ever more chances for wrong, fabricated, or mismatched bibliographic data. Reference managers (Zotero), parsers (AnyStyle, GROBID), format converters (Citation.js), and identifier-to-BibTeX helpers (doi2bib, Manubot) each solve one slice of the problem. OneCite targets the under-served step before references enter a manuscript, systematic review, or manager: an auditable normalization layer that routes strong identifiers (DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, URL, data/software DOIs) to the applicable metadata services, completes available metadata, reports unresolved entries, and produces BibTeX or CSL-JSON.

OneCite is not another reference manager, and process does not auto-accept fuzzy title matches. Strong identifiers are resolved through documented source routes; explicitly labelled thesis/dissertation citations have a separate OpenAIRE/BASE route and can fall back to fields parsed from the input. Ordinary ambiguous text is returned as ranked candidates through onecite suggest for human review rather than silently emitted as source-resolved output. That process/suggest separation, together with machine-readable JSON/NDJSON, exit codes, and deterministic offline checks, makes OneCite a scriptable building block for agents, batch jobs, and reproducible reviews rather than a GUI library. Source resolution does not establish that a work is authentic, unretracted, or correctly described by upstream metadata.
