SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Systematic literature reviews require rigorous planning, disciplined searching, and transparent synthesis; this skill provides a structured, reproducible workflow to manage the full review lifecycle from protocol to reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel-web powered search across scholarly sources and preprint servers for rapid scoping.
  • Multi-database integration with biomedical databases via gget, bioservices, and datacommons-client to gather sources, retrieve metadata, and context.
  • Citation verification and formatting with verify_citations.py to ensure DOIs and metadata accuracy.
  • Template-driven document generation with PDF export for publication-ready outputs and alignment with PRISMA/AMSTAR-2 guidelines.
  • Thematic synthesis and knowledge-gap analysis to guide research planning and reporting.

Quick Start

Initialize a literature review project, perform an initial broad search with parallel-web, and generate a ready-to-export PDF using the included templates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a reproducible systematic literature review with PRISMA alignment?▼

You can conduct a reproducible systematic literature review by initializing a project, performing broad searches with parallel-web, integrating biomedical databases via gget and bioservices, and generating publication-ready PDF outputs aligned with PRISMA guidelines.

What is the best way to verify citations and DOIs for a research synthesis?▼

Citation verification for research synthesis is handled by validate_citations.py, which checks DOIs against Crossref to ensure metadata accuracy and citation integrity. This prevents referencing errors during thematic synthesis and knowledge-gap analysis.

Does this literature review workflow support biomedical and life sciences databases?▼

Yes, this literature review workflow supports biomedical and life sciences databases. It leverages gget, bioservices, and datacommons-client to retrieve metadata, assemble sources, and extract context for rigorous evidence synthesis across these technical domains.

Can I do parallel web searches for preprint servers during scoping?▼

Yes, you can perform parallel web searches for preprint servers during scoping. The workflow features parallel-web powered search across scholarly sources and preprint servers to rapidly identify and gather relevant literature for your systematic review.

How to generate a publication-ready PDF for a systematic review?▼

You generate a publication-ready PDF for a systematic review by using the included template-driven document generation. This exports your verified sources and thematic synthesis results into a formatted PDF aligned with PRISMA and AMSTAR-2 reporting guidelines.
