SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex and time-consuming process of academic literature research by integrating multiple search databases, citation management, and AI-powered information retrieval into a single, cohesive workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Database Search: Simultaneously search PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and more.
  • Citation Management: Generate, validate, and manage BibTeX files with support for various citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).
  • AI-Powered Research: Leverage Perplexity AI for the latest research insights and summaries.
  • Systematic Reviews: Facilitate the entire systematic literature review process from search strategy to report generation.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to conduct a systematic review on the impact of CRISPR technology on sickle cell disease. This Skill can perform the comprehensive search across relevant databases, extract and format citations, and help compile the findings into a structured review report.

Quick Start

Use the research-literature skill to search for papers on 'machine learning in healthcare' across PubMed and arXiv, and save the results in BibTeX format.
