SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Systematic, evidence-based literature reviews are essential for credible research but are time-consuming and error-prone. This skill streamlines planning, multi-database searching, screening, synthesis, and documentation to deliver reproducible outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search orchestration: coordinates searches across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and more, with export-ready results.
  • Systematic screening & synthesis: supports deduplication, title/abstract/full-text screening, thematic synthesis, and documentation of decisions.
  • Publication-ready output: generates Markdown and PDF reports with PRISMA-style flow, including properly formatted citations.

Quick Start

Create a comprehensive literature review document by aggregating results from multiple databases and generating a publication-ready Markdown and PDF report.

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

Automate a systematic literature review by orchestrating searches across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar. The workflow guides planning, multi-database searching, deduplication, screening, and synthesis to deliver reproducible, publication-ready outputs.

Can I generate a PRISMA flow diagram for my systematic review?

Yes, you can generate a PRISMA flow diagram for your systematic review. The workflow automatically documents screening decisions and produces publication-ready Markdown and PDF reports that include properly formatted PRISMA-style flow diagrams and citations.

What is the best way to synthesize biomedical literature for publication?

Synthesize biomedical literature by applying thematic synthesis to screened full-text articles. The workflow supports title, abstract, and full-text screening, aggregates results from multiple literature databases, and formats the final synthesis into publication-ready Markdown and PDF reports.

Does this systematic review workflow support citation verification and deduplication?

Yes, the systematic review workflow supports citation verification and deduplication. It automatically removes duplicate records during the screening phase, verifies citations across aggregated multi-database search results, and documents all decisions for reproducible research outputs.

How do I screen titles and abstracts for a multi-database literature search?

Screen titles and abstracts for a multi-database literature search using the built-in systematic screening workflow. After aggregating results from PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar, the tool applies deduplication and guides title, abstract, and full-text screening with documented decisions.
