What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of conducting efficient literature reviews in the communications domain by leveraging Claude-style knowledge-base-first retrieval, offering comprehensive and structured information on specified topics.

Core Features & Use Cases

Knowledge-Base First Retrieval: Prioritizes relevant literature from Zotero, Obsidian, and local PDF libraries before searching external databases.
Multi-Source Search: Searches IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, and the web, prioritizing peer-reviewed journals and major conferences.
Venue Priority: Searches within specific venue tiers (A, B, C) to ensure high-quality sources.
Synthesis Rules: Groups papers by technical axis and separates foundational vs recent work, formal publications vs preprints, and top-tier vs lower-tier venues.
Output: Provides a literature table with detailed information on each paper and a summary of the field's research landscape.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate a literature review for communications research?▼

Automating a communications literature review involves querying local knowledge bases like Zotero and Obsidian, then searching IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect to group peer-reviewed papers by technical axis and generate a structured literature table.

What's the best way to search IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect for peer-reviewed journals?▼

Searching IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and ACM Digital Library for peer-reviewed journals is best done by prioritizing specific venue tiers (A, B, C) and separating foundational work from recent preprints to map the research landscape.

Can I use my Zotero and Obsidian libraries for a knowledge-base-first literature search?▼

Yes, you can use Zotero and Obsidian libraries for a knowledge-base-first literature search by prioritizing retrieval from local PDFs and notes before querying external databases like IEEE Xplore.

How does grouping papers by technical axis improve a literature review?▼

Grouping papers by technical axis improves a literature review by categorizing foundational versus recent work and top-tier versus lower-tier venues, providing a structured summary of the research landscape.

Do I need a local PDF library to review communications literature?▼

A local PDF library is not strictly required but is highly beneficial for communications literature review, as the tool prioritizes local knowledge-base retrieval from Zotero and Obsidian before searching the web.

How to generate a literature table from ACM Digital Library and web search results?▼

To generate a literature table from ACM Digital Library and web search results, retrieve peer-reviewed papers, group them by technical axis, and output detailed information summarizing the field's research landscape.
