SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Research lookup removes the guesswork of finding up-to-date, credible sources by automatically routing your query to the best backend and returning evidence with citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent backend routing: Uses parallel-cli (fast default) for most research, switches to an academic-focused path for paper/citation/DOI queries, and supports deep synthesis when requested.
  • Academic prioritization & paper quality: Ranks results toward highly cited and high-venue-tier papers for stronger literature reviews.
  • Citation-first outputs: Produces summarized findings plus a sources list and extracted DOI/URL references for traceability and writing.

Quick Start

Ask for a literature overview and citations by saying: "Find recent systematic reviews on AI in medical diagnosis (2024–2026) and include 5-8 high-impact papers with DOIs."

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find recent academic papers with DOIs for a literature review?

Academic paper searches route to a specialized backend that prioritizes highly cited, high-venue-tier papers and extracts their DOIs for your literature review. You receive structured summaries alongside a prioritized sources list for immediate traceability.

What is the best way to get cited research fast by topic?

Getting cited research fast involves intelligent backend routing that automatically directs your topic query to the fastest available source. It returns evidence with citations, extracted URLs, and structured summaries without manual searching.

Do I need an API key to look up academic citations and DOIs?

Yes, looking up academic citations requires configuring a PARALLEL_API_KEY for the routed backends, and optionally an OPENROUTER_API_KEY. These keys enable the deep synthesis and fast default research paths.

Can I use this for fact checking and protocol verification?

Yes, you can use this for fact checking and protocol or method verification by asking for evidence on a specific topic. The system retrieves up-to-date research information and returns summarized findings with traceable sources.

How does backend routing work for market and statistical research?

Backend routing uses a fast default path for most market and statistical research queries, switching to an academic-focused path when citations or DOIs are needed. This ensures you get relevant data quickly with appropriate source prioritization.

What limitations exist when extracting DOI references for downstream writing?

Extracting DOI references depends on the availability of DOIs in the retrieved sources and proper API key configuration. If a source lacks a DOI, the system extracts the URL reference instead to maintain traceability for your writing.
