To find and summarize research papers for a literature review, you can configure a multi-source search across local PDFs, Zotero, and academic APIs adapters. This aggregates and de-duplicates results by arXiv IDs or DOIs, providing ranked relevant papers with summaries.

Yes, you can search your Zotero library and local PDFs for related work discovery. The process combines these local sources with web search and academic APIs, merging overlapping hits using identifiers to reduce duplicates and prefer higher-quality citation metadata.

The verification process filters fabricated academic search results by running a mandatory guardrail step. This step verifies candidate paper identifiers and titles before deeper analysis proceeds, ensuring that incorrect or fabricated metadata is removed from the final literature review.

The best way to aggregate arXiv and Semantic Scholar results without duplicates is to use a multi-source search tool that merges overlapping hits. It de-duplicates results using identifiers like arXiv IDs, DOIs, and titles, preferring higher-quality venue and citation metadata.

Yes, you need YAML configuration to specify sources and parameters for the multi-source academic search. This configuration defines which local files, Zotero libraries, and academic API adapters like OpenAlex or Exa are queried during the paper discovery process.

Yes, you can use Gemini for paper-topic expansion during a literature review. This helps interpret what specific papers contribute in technical domains and expands the search scope, returning a ranked set of relevant papers with focused summaries of key ideas.
