Integrity FAQs

How do you handle Zotero or Mendeley shared libraries?
We prioritize collaborative efficiency. We recommend adding your dedicated Sagedoer VA as a "Collaborator" to your shared group in Zotero or Mendeley. This allows the VA to clean metadata, merge duplicates, and verify DOIs directly in your database without needing your master login credentials.
What is the role of the free Project Manager?
The PM is your Chief Editorial Officer. They audit the VA’s final bibliography for strict adherence to the requested edition (e.g., APA 6th vs 7th), verify that every citation in the text actually exists in the reference list, and act as your single point of contact for strategy—at absolutely zero extra cost.
Can the VA help find original sources for citations?
Yes. Our specialized pool is trained in **Secondary Research**. If you have an "Author, Year" citation but cannot locate the original paper, your VA will use advanced search techniques across academic databases to find the primary source and extract the full bibliographic data for you.
Do you support LaTeX and BibTeX workflows?
Absolutely. Many of our technical editors are proficient in Overleaf and raw .bib files. They can manage your BibTeX keys, ensure consistent cite-key naming, and troubleshoot LaTeX compilation errors related to your bibliography environment.
