SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Literature reviews are manual, time-consuming, and error-prone; this skill automates multi-database searches, deduplication, screening, data extraction, and reporting to produce structured, publish-ready reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search orchestration across PubMed, bioRxiv, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and more
  • Deduplication, screening workflow, data extraction, and PRISMA-aligned reporting
  • Automated citation verification and PDF/Markdown document generation with consistent formatting

Quick Start

Search across databases, deduplicate results, screen by criteria, extract data, and generate a formatted literature review in Markdown and PDF.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a systematic literature review across multiple databases?

You can automate a systematic literature review by orchestrating multi-database searches across PubMed, bioRxiv, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar, followed by automated deduplication, screening, and data extraction to generate publication-ready outputs.

Can I generate PRISMA-compliant reports for a biomedical literature search?

Yes, you can generate PRISMA-compliant reports for a biomedical literature search. The workflow produces standards-compliant documentation and formatted manuscripts directly from your search strategies and screening results.

What is the best way to deduplicate citations from PubMed and arXiv?

The best way to deduplicate citations from PubMed and arXiv is to use an automated workflow that aggregates search results from multiple databases and systematically removes duplicate entries before the screening phase.

Does this systematic review workflow include citation verification?

Yes, the systematic review workflow includes citation verification. It automatically verifies citations during the data extraction process to ensure accuracy in the final Markdown and PDF publication-ready outputs.

How does reproducibility work for systematic reviews using Python?

Reproducibility for systematic reviews using Python is achieved through automated, end-to-end workflows that apply consistent search strategies, deduplication, and screening, ensuring results can be regenerated and documented in PRISMA-aligned formats.

Do I need the requests library to run multi-database literature searches?

Yes, you need the requests library to run multi-database literature searches. It is a required Python dependency for executing the automated search orchestration across external databases and retrieving publication data.
