Worked on the assume-framework/assume repository to enhance the JOSS paper’s citation and reference metadata, focusing on publication readiness and scholarly accuracy. Updated BibTeX entries to include volume, number, and page information, and refined Markdown citations to comply with JOSS formatting guidelines by converting citation syntax from @ to by. Leveraged skills in academic publishing and technical writing, utilizing BibTeX and Markdown to ensure consistency and integrity across all references. This targeted feature improved the accuracy of the submission’s metadata, supporting a smoother publication review process and strengthening the overall quality of the documentation without introducing or addressing any reported bugs.
