SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill reduces manual literature search time by automatically discovering and surfacing relevant papers for a given topic, improving coverage and efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Broad topic discovery across multiple venues and time ranges with deduplication.
  • Ingestion guidance that surfaces which papers to ingest and how to integrate them into workflows.
  • Workflow compatibility with paper_search or rhub-compatible search flows for automated results.

Quick Start

Run a broad literature search on your topic and surface the top candidate papers for ingestion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate literature search and discovery across multiple venues?

Broad literature discovery automatically identifies and curates relevant scientific papers for a given topic. It applies deduplication across multiple venues, time ranges, and domains, then ranks results by relevance to recommend papers for ingestion.

How does paper deduplication work during scientific literature discovery?

Paper deduplication during literature discovery removes duplicate results found across multiple venues and domains. This ensures your final ranked list of candidate papers contains unique entries before making any ingestion decisions.

Can I use paper_search or rhub-compatible flows for broad topic discovery?

Yes, literature discovery uses paper_search or rhub-compatible flows to automate broad topic searches. These compatible workflows surface top candidate papers and provide ingestion guidance to integrate them into your research process.

What is the best way to decide which scientific papers to ingest after a search?

The best way to decide paper ingestion is to use automated relevance ranking. The workflow evaluates discovered scientific papers, applies deduplication, and explicitly recommends which specific papers to ingest into your research workflow.

Does automated literature search support broad discovery across different time ranges and domains?

Yes, the literature search workflow explicitly supports broad discovery across multiple time ranges and domains. It automatically handles venue coverage and deduplication to improve search coverage and efficiency for your topic.
