FAQPage Schema
How do I find related research papers and avoid hallucinated citations in my literature review?

Finding related research papers without hallucinated citations requires verifying candidate papers across multiple sources. This skill searches local PDFs, web, and databases like arXiv and Semantic Scholar, then deduplicates and verifies results to produce accurate summaries for your literature review.

What is the best way to summarize related work for thesis writing from multiple paper sources?

Summarizing related work for thesis writing involves synthesizing key ideas from discovered papers. This skill aggregates results from configured sources like Zotero and OpenAlex, deduplicates them, and generates topic-focused summaries to map concepts and prioritize your reading list.

Can I use my local PDFs and Obsidian notes together with Semantic Scholar for paper discovery?

Yes, you can combine local PDFs and Obsidian notes with Semantic Scholar for paper discovery. The skill supports configurable source selection, allowing you to query local files alongside research databases simultaneously to find relevant academic papers.

How do I configure which research databases are used for topic-driven literature searches?

You configure research databases for topic-driven literature searches by specifying desired sources in your query. The skill accepts source parameters like web, local, zotero, obsidian, semantic-scholar, and openalex to customize where it searches for and synthesizes related work.

Does this literature review tool work with arXiv and DeepXiv to find academic papers?

Yes, this literature review tool works with arXiv and DeepXiv. It applies multi-source paper discovery across these optional research databases, verifying candidate papers and deduplicating results to reduce hallucinated bibliographic details for your research planning.

Why should I use a deduplication process when mapping concepts to research venues?

Using a deduplication process when mapping concepts to research venues prevents redundant citations and ensures evidence-focused analysis. The skill de-duplicates search results across all selected sources, providing verified paper candidates for accurate topic summarization.
