literature-review

A systematic literature review searches across biomedical and scientific databases, aggregates results, and deduplicates records before screening. You plan the scope and eligibility criteria, then extract findings with documented exclusion reasons and quality assessment.

PRISMA flow diagram generation maps the screening process by tracking records through identification, deduplication, title/abstract screening, and full-text exclusion. This Skill requires generating at least one PRISMA or strategy-type schematic via scientific-schematics before finalizing outputs.

DOI verification and reference formatting support styles including APA, Nature, and Vancouver. The Skill checks citation DOIs for accuracy and applies consistent formatting across your bibliography to produce publication-ready markdown and PDF outputs.

Study-quality grading for scoping reviews uses standardized tools like Cochrane, AMSTAR, or Newcastle-Ottawa scales. The Skill applies these instruments during the extraction phase to document methodological quality alongside screening outcomes.

Citation verification via DOI checking works directly with markdown and PDF deliverables. The Skill validates DOIs against source databases and integrates the verified references into professionally formatted publication-ready outputs.

Automated literature search aggregation requires clear eligibility criteria and manual full-text screening to ensure accuracy. While the Skill deduplicates records and formats references, researchers must still validate study relevance and quality assessment interpretations.
