research-lookup

To find recent academic papers with citations and DOIs, perform a research lookup by asking for literature on a specific topic. The system routes scholarly queries to a research backend, returning traceable sources and extracted DOIs.

Verify scientific facts and statistics for a literature review by submitting your claims to the research lookup tool. It cross-checks information against current evidence, returning citation-first markdown results to support verification workflows.

Academic search requires backend routing which depends on the availability of PARALLEL_API_KEY and/or OPENROUTER_API_KEY. These keys enable the system to produce citation-rich markdown results and extract DOIs.

The best way to gather background research for a scientific paper is using auto-select backend routing. It sends academic-paper-oriented queries to a scholarly search backend and general queries to a broader synthesis backend for current evidence.

You can run multiple academic search queries to build an audit trail because the system supports batch outputs and encourages saving results. This ensures your fact verification and literature review processes are reproducible.

Your research lookup returns general results instead of scholarly papers when intelligent backend routing classifies your query as non-academic. Adjust your phrasing to include academic keywords to trigger the scholarly search backend.
