aris-semantic-scholar

Run the skill with a topic query, and it calls the Semantic Scholar graph API search endpoint with default filters for Computer Science and Engineering fields plus journal and conference publication types. Results are returned as a ranked table with citations, venue, and year.

Use Semantic Scholar for published, peer-reviewed venue papers where citation counts and journal or conference metadata matter. Use arXiv for the latest unrefereed preprints. The two skills complement each other, and this skill flags papers that also exist on arXiv.

Yes, pass a DOI such as 10.1109/TSP.2021.3071210 directly as the argument and the skill fetches full paper details instead of running a search. It also accepts Semantic Scholar IDs, ArXiv IDs, and Corpus IDs.

The Semantic Scholar API without a key is limited to roughly one request per second with strict cooldowns. Wait and retry when a 429 occurs, or set the SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY environment variable with a free key for higher limits.

Venue filtering requires exact venue names rather than partial matches like IEEE, so publication-type and field-of-study filters are preferred. Some publishers omit TLDR fields and many IEEE papers lack open-access PDFs, so DOI links serve as the fallback.
