SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Finding relevant academic papers and tracing citation relationships manually across scholarly databases is slow and fragmented; this Skill lets an agent query Baidu Scholar directly for literature search and citation analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Academic Paper Search: Search Baidu Scholar by keywords with optional year filtering and sorting by relevance, citation count, or date.
  • Citation Relationship Query: Retrieve papers citing a given work and the references it cites.
  • Use Case: A graduate student researching transformer architectures can ask the agent to search "transformer attention mechanism" and receive titles, authors, publication dates, abstracts, and citation counts in one response.

Quick Start

Set the BAIDU_API_KEY environment variable, then ask the agent to search Baidu Scholar for papers on your research topic.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I search academic papers with Baidu Scholar?

Run the baidu_scholar.py script with the search command followed by keywords, for example searching "transformer attention mechanism". You can optionally filter by year and sort by relevance, citation count, or date.

How to find papers that cite a specific publication?

Use the cite command with the paper title, such as "Attention Is All You Need". The script queries Baidu Scholar for both papers citing the work and the references it cites.

What API key does Baidu Scholar search require?

The skill requires a BAIDU_API_KEY environment variable, and the underlying script uses an APPBUILDER_TOKEN from Baidu Qianfan AppBuilder. Set these before running any search or citation query.

What information does a Baidu Scholar paper search return?

Search results include paper titles, authors, publication dates, abstracts, and citation counts. The query is constructed to request these fields explicitly from the Baidu Scholar backend.

Why is my Baidu Scholar search not returning results?

The most common cause is a missing or invalid APPBUILDER_TOKEN or BAIDU_API_KEY environment variable. Verify the credentials are exported in your shell before invoking the script.
