research-lookup

Academic research lookup retrieves current literature, technical documentation, and statistical data with scholarly citations and DOIs using Perplexity's Sonar models via OpenRouter. Provide your query, and the Skill automatically selects the appropriate model and returns citations with usage metrics and timestamps for your writing workflow.

Yes, batch lookups are supported with automatic delays between queries. The Skill processes multiple academic queries in sequence, returning citations and DOIs for each, making it efficient for large-scale literature reviews and fact verification across domains.

You need an OpenRouter API key to authenticate requests. The Skill handles model selection and query processing automatically once the key is configured, requiring no additional setup for Perplexity's Sonar Pro or Sonar Reasoning Pro models.

The Skill automatically selects the appropriate model based on query complexity. Simpler queries use Sonar Pro for faster results, while complex queries use Sonar Reasoning Pro for deeper analysis, optimizing both speed and accuracy for your research needs.

Yes, the Skill returns scholarly citations with DOIs when available, enabling fact verification and background research with properly attributed sources. Citation metadata is returned alongside research results for direct integration into academic documents.

Research lookup returns citations, DOIs, usage metrics, timestamps, and model details alongside results. This metadata supports Claude Code integration and enables tracking of research sources, query performance, and model selection decisions.
