RESEARCH USE

Where Manubot fits

Write a collaborative manuscript in Markdown within a Git repository, retrieve citation metadata from persistent identifiers, and use automated builds to produce HTML, PDF, or DOCX. Preserve commit and review history, configuration, dependencies, and build logs, then check references and every output format before release.

Research tasks

  • Write scholarly manuscripts with a complete version history
  • Generate and maintain citations from DOI, PubMed, and related identifiers
  • Build several document formats through continuous integration

What to evaluate before use

  • Retrieved bibliographic metadata can be incomplete or wrong. Authors, title, year, venue, and identifiers require direct checking.
  • Public repositories, third-party continuous integration, and external services may be unsuitable for confidential drafts. Generated PDF and DOCX files can also require manual layout correction.
