References: AI-Assisted Manuscript Preparation

  1. IMRAD - Wikipedia - Explains the Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion layout of research papers. It grounds the chapter's paper-structure table and the idea that each section answers one reader question, with history and discipline variants.

  2. LaTeX - Wikipedia - Describes the LaTeX document-preparation system built on TeX, covering its markup model, packages, and bibliography tooling. Useful background for why plain-text source suits version control and agent-assisted editing of manuscripts.

  3. Abstract (summary) - Wikipedia - Covers the purpose, types, structure, and limits of academic abstracts. It supports the chapter's guidance that an abstract compresses context, gap, contribution, and result, and is written from the finished paper.

  4. Writing Science: How to Write Papers That Get Cited and Proposals That Get Funded (1st Edition) - Joshua Schimel - Oxford University Press - Schimel's distinctive contribution is the Opening-Challenge-Action-Resolution story structure, which turns an introduction into a narrative argument. It sharpens the outline-as-claims approach and the drafting of the introduction and abstract.

  5. Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace (12th Edition) - Joseph M. Williams and Joseph Bizup - Pearson - Teaches clarity by making characters the subjects and actions the verbs of sentences, with before-and-after revision exercises. It directly supports the grammar-and-clarity and revision-from-structure-to-surface practices of this chapter.

  6. Submitting TeX/LaTeX to arXiv - arXiv - Official guidance on preparing LaTeX source, figure formats, and the compiled bibliography (.bbl) file for arXiv submission. Essential checklist for the chapter's advice that source must build cleanly from a clean directory.

  7. arXiv Endorsement - arXiv - Explains why first-time submitters or new categories need endorsement, how to obtain it, and who may endorse. Directly relevant to the chapter's arXiv submission cautions for new authors.

  8. Learn LaTeX in 30 Minutes - Overleaf - Hands-on beginner tutorial covering document structure, sections, figures, tables, math, and packages with runnable examples. Gives students enough LaTeX to review and compile agent-generated manuscript source.

  9. Bibliography management with BibTeX - Overleaf - Shows how .bib databases, \cite commands, and bibliography styles work, with entry types and author-name formatting examples. Supports the chapter's rule to keep BibTeX entries verified and never retype references.

  10. Defining the Role of Authors and Contributors - ICMJE - States the four authorship criteria, including accountability, and that AI tools cannot be listed as authors and their use must be disclosed. Grounds the chapter's authorship and co-author review sections.
