SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually conducting literature reviews and finding relevant research papers is extremely time-consuming, requiring researchers to search across dozens of disconnected sources (local PDF libraries, reference managers, arXiv, academic databases) and spend hours reading and summarizing individual papers to compile related work or understand a new topic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source aggregated search: Pulls results from local PDF libraries, Zotero, Obsidian, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, DeepXiv, Exa, Gemini, and OpenAlex in a single query, no need to check each source separately.
  • Smart paper filtering and summarization: Ranks results by relevance to your research topic, extracts key metadata (title, authors, venue, year, citation count) and core contributions, and de-duplicates papers across sources.
  • Use Case: If you are preparing a MICCAI 2025 paper on vertebrae segmentation, use this skill to pull all relevant papers from your local collection and Zotero library, find recent preprints on frequency-enhanced segmentation, and compile a structured summary of related work for your introduction section.

Quick Start

Use the research-lit skill to find and summarize the latest papers on multi-granularity context networks for efficient medical image segmentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate literature review and summarize academic papers across multiple databases?

Automated literature review aggregates searches across local PDFs, Zotero, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar. It ranks results by relevance, extracts metadata, and summarizes core contributions to eliminate manual paper reading.

Can I search and analyze my local Zotero library along with arXiv preprints at the same time?

Yes, multi-source aggregated search queries local PDF libraries, Zotero, Obsidian, and online databases like arXiv simultaneously. It de-duplicates papers across all sources to provide a unified research summary.

What is the best way to compile related work for a conference paper using existing reference managers?

Compiling related work involves querying your reference manager and online databases, then extracting key metadata and core contributions. This generates a structured summary of relevant papers for your introduction section.

Does this paper discovery approach support downloading arXiv PDFs automatically?

Yes, the search and summarization process includes optional arXiv PDF download functionality. It retrieves and filters preprints alongside your local collections to streamline research paper discovery.

How do I find recent research papers for a new topic without checking dozens of academic sources manually?

Finding recent research papers uses a single query to search aggregated academic databases like OpenAlex, Exa, and Semantic Scholar. It applies relevance ranking and de-duplication to surface pertinent papers instantly.

What limitations exist when summarizing academic research papers from local PDF libraries?

Summarization relies on text extraction from local PDFs and online metadata from integrated databases. Papers without parseable text or missing metadata may result in incomplete relevance ranking or core contribution analysis.
