3. Write in full paragraphs with precise, evidence-backed claims.
4. Validate DOIs and citation metadata.
5. Check structure against IMRAD or venue requirements.

## Quick Reference

| Task | Action |
|------|--------|
| DOI validation | `python scripts/crossref_validator.py --doi <doi>` |
| Writing guidance | See `references/` |

## Input Requirements

- Manuscript section(s) or outline
- Target journal or venue (if known)
- Citation list or DOI inputs

## Output

## Examples

### Example 1: Validate a DOI

```bash
python scripts/crossref_validator.py --doi "10.1038/d41586-018-02404-4"
```
