SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Assists researchers and students by enabling fast discovery of relevant academic papers, extraction of DOIs, and generation of structured literature reviews with properly cited sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

Multi-Source Search: Finds papers across Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, and PubMed.
Full Abstracts & Metadata: Returns complete abstracts, DOIs, authors, venues, and publication years for robust reviews.
Automatic Deduplication & Synthesis: Deduplicates results by DOI and groups findings by theme to draft sections.
Polite Access & Compliance: Uses environment-provided contact emails to respect API rate limits.
Abstract Reconstruction: Reconstructs abstracts from index formats to ensure readable summaries.
Drafting Support: Organizes sources into thematically coherent narratives with citations.

Quick Start

Ask the system to search for papers on your topic and draft a cohesive literature review with citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about literature-review

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate literature search across multiple academic databases?▼

Automated literature search queries Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, and PubMed simultaneously to gather papers. It returns full abstracts, DOIs, authors, venues, and publication years for comprehensive scholarly discovery.

How do I generate a structured literature review with proper citations?▼

Generating a structured literature review involves deduplicating search results by DOI and grouping findings by theme. This creates thematically coherent narratives with properly cited sources for academic drafting.

Do I need to configure API access to search Semantic Scholar and PubMed?▼

Configuring polite API access requires setting a USER_EMAIL environment variable to respect rate limits. This must be provided before querying Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, or PubMed for academic research.

How are duplicate papers handled during multi-source academic research?▼

Duplicate papers are removed through automatic deduplication by DOI. This ensures that records appearing across multiple databases like Crossref and OpenAlex are counted only once in the final synthesis.

Can I reconstruct incomplete abstracts from index formats for my literature review?▼

Abstract reconstruction transforms truncated index formats into readable summaries. This ensures that literature reviews contain complete, coherent abstracts rather than fragmented database metadata.

What is the best way to organize multiple papers into a thematic narrative?▼

Organizing papers into a thematic narrative relies on synthesis logic that groups sources by topic. It automatically structures academic findings into coherent sections with citations for drafting support.
