Citations in paper.md fail to process because the bibliography is stored in bibliography.py. Pandoc's citation processor only recognizes standard formats (BibTeX, CSL JSON/YAML, RIS), not Python files.

Changes

  • bibliography.bib - BibTeX format bibliography with sample academic references
  • paper.md - Example paper demonstrating proper citation syntax and YAML frontmatter
  • bibliography.py - Incorrect format preserved for reference (with explanatory comments)
  • CITATION_GUIDE.md - Bilingual documentation on citation setup
  • DEMONSTRATION.md - Comparison of correct vs incorrect format with test commands
  • .gitignore - Excludes generated documentation artifacts

Usage

# paper.md header
---
bibliography: bibliography.bib  # Must be .bib, not .py
---
# bibliography.bib
@article{key2024,
  title={Article Title},
  author={Author, Name},
  journal={Journal Name},
  year={2024}
}
<!-- In paper text -->
This claim is supported by research [@key2024].
# Generate output
pandoc paper.md --bibliography=bibliography.bib --citeproc -o paper.pdf

The .py extension causes pandoc to fail with "Could not determine bibliography format". BibTeX (.bib) is required.

Original prompt

En mi proyecto hay un fichero llamado paper.md con referencias/citas a artículos. ¿Por qué no se cargan correctamente las citas si estas se cuentran en el fichero bibliography.py?
