foreign-literature-search

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly find relevant foreign/English academic literature for social-science research without needing an institutional account or an API key, then organizes the results for downstream review.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-stage literature search (AND logic with keyword groups): Builds a primary “most specific group” query, then applies post-filtering so papers match all concept groups (with an automatic relaxed fallback when results are too few).
• Independent supplemental searches: Runs separate searches for research-object background and core theory terms to expand coverage.
• Structured Excel outputs + WoS/Scopus boolean drafts: Produces category-colored Excel files with article metadata and generates Web of Science (SSCI) / Scopus-ready boolean query templates for users with access.

Quick Start

Run foreign-literature-search with keyword groups reflecting your topic’s main concepts, so it returns a deduplicated, categorized Excel of English/foreign papers using OpenAlex.
