FAQPage Schema
How do I automate academic literature lookups with proper citations?

To automate academic literature lookups with citations, provide a research query to route through OpenRouter to Perplexity Sonar models, which return structured sources, DOIs, and a readable narrative. The Skill handles prompt construction and formatting to deliver peer-reviewed academic sourcing.

Do I need an OpenRouter API key to perform scholarly research retrieval?

Yes, an OpenRouter API key is required to perform scholarly research retrieval. The Skill routes academic queries to Perplexity Sonar Pro Search or Sonar Reasoning Pro via OpenRouter, necessitating this key to handle model selection, prompt construction, and structured results formatting.

Can I use Perplexity Sonar for current literature lookups and data synthesis?

Yes, you can use Perplexity Sonar for current literature lookups and data synthesis. The Skill applies automatic model selection based on query complexity to fetch recent academic sources, protocols, and citations with provenance tracking across multiple domains.

What is the best way to get structured citations and DOIs for academic queries?

The best way to get structured citations and DOIs for academic queries is using automatic model selection through Perplexity Sonar via OpenRouter. The system prioritizes scholarly sources and formats results to return venue-quality indicators, structured citations, and provenance tracking.

How does automatic model selection work for research queries?

Automatic model selection for research queries works by evaluating query complexity and routing to Perplexity Sonar Pro Search or Sonar Reasoning Pro via OpenRouter. This ensures appropriate handling of current literature lookups, methodology references, and data synthesis tasks.

Does batch academic querying support provenance tracking and structured results?

Yes, batch academic querying supports provenance tracking and structured results. The Skill handles batch queries to return comprehensive academic sourcing with citations, DOIs, venue-quality indicators, and a readable narrative suitable for writing and review.
