SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing a literature review requires searching multiple academic databases, verifying citation authenticity, and synthesizing sources into coherent arguments. This Skill automates multi-database literature search, enforces strict no-fabrication rules for citations, and structures sources into evidence-claim mappings before drafting review sections. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Database Search: Query PubMed, CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv via the scholar_search.py script with year filtering and result limits. - Citation Format Export: Output results as BibTeX, RIS, APA, MLA, Chicago, or Vancouver formats for direct use in LaTeX or reference managers. - Evidence-Claim Mapping: Convert retrieved papers into a structured table linking each source to a supported claim and its citation slot in the manuscript. - Chinese Literature Workflow: Generate CNKI search strategies and keywords, then organize user-provided abstracts into the review structure. - Use Case: A graduate student writing a related work section searches "federated learning intrusion detection" across CrossRef and Semantic Scholar, exports BibTeX entries, builds an evidence-claim map, and drafts a synthesized review paragraph with verified citations. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search academic databases for papers on your research topic and organize the results into a literature review outline with verified citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about literature-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search multiple academic databases at once?

Run the scholar_search.py script with your query and specify databases using the --sources flag, such as crossref, pubmed, semanticscholar, or arxiv. Results can be filtered by year range and exported as JSON, BibTeX, or formatted citations.

How to export literature search results as BibTeX for LaTeX?

Use the --format bibtex option with scholar_search.py and direct output to a .bib file with -o refs.bib. The generated entries include title, authors, journal, year, and DOI fields ready for LaTeX bibliographies.

Can AI search Chinese literature databases like CNKI directly?

No, the AI cannot access CNKI or other Chinese academic databases directly. It generates search keywords and strategies for you to run on CNKI, then organizes and analyzes the abstracts you paste back.

How are citations verified to avoid fabricated references?

Each citation is validated through the CrossRef API by checking its DOI, and only information from titles, abstracts, DOI metadata, or user-provided excerpts may be used. Sources that cannot be verified are excluded rather than guessed.

What is an evidence-claim map in literature review writing?

It is a required table linking each source to a specific claim it supports and the exact paragraph slot where it will be cited. The review draft cannot proceed until every core argument has at least one verified supporting source.
