SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill consolidates dispersed signals about an academic paper — venue, citations, code availability and health, reproducibility evidence, social discussion, and author reputation — into a single scored markdown report to help researchers decide what to read, cite, or build on.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Metadata aggregation — fetch title, authors, date, abstract, venue, and citation counts via arXiv and Semantic Scholar.
  • Code discovery and health checks — locate official or linked GitHub repositories via Papers With Code and web search and report stars, forks, last push, and issues.
  • Reproducibility & adoption signals — detect HuggingFace models/datasets, third-party reimplementations, and runnable code status.
  • Social and impact analysis — search Twitter/X, Reddit, and Hacker News for discussion and measure engagement to inform social buzz scores.
  • Use Cases — single-paper deep evaluations, multi-paper topic surveys with ranked scorecards, and triage for reading/citation priorities.

Quick Start

Evaluate the paper given its arXiv URL or DOI and produce a dated, scored markdown evaluation that includes venue, citation metrics, code links and health, reproducibility findings, social discussion, and an overall tier.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate the reproducibility of a research paper?

To evaluate paper reproducibility, this Skill aggregates GitHub repo health metrics, HuggingFace model adoption, and runnable code status into a scored markdown report. It checks stars, forks, and recent pushes to verify code maintenance.

What is the best way to do a literature review for a specific topic?

Conducting a literature review with this Skill involves performing multi-paper topic surveys to collect citation counts, venue information, and social buzz. It generates a ranked scorecard to triage your reading and citation priorities.

Can I assess academic paper impact using Semantic Scholar data?

Yes, you can assess academic paper impact by fetching metadata and citation counts via Semantic Scholar. The Skill combines these metrics with social discussion from Twitter, Reddit, and Hacker News to produce an overall impact tier.

Does this paper evaluation tool check GitHub repository health?

Yes, this paper evaluation tool checks GitHub repository health by locating official or linked repositories via Papers With Code. It reports stars, forks, last push dates, and open issues to determine code maintenance and reproducibility.

How do I generate a citation analysis report from an arXiv URL?

To generate a citation analysis report, provide an arXiv URL or DOI. The Skill fetches authors, venue, and citation metrics, evaluates HuggingFace adoption, and saves a standardized dated markdown evaluation with an overall tier.
