SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous multi-stage research pipeline that discovers, validates, analyzes, and synthesizes scholarly literature with verified PubMed/Semantic Scholar citations, producing structured reports and reducing manual effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Outline planning: generate structured sub-questions, search terms, and scope for a research topic.
  • Discovery & validation: perform literature search across PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv, validate each citation, and produce a verified citation JSON.
  • Synthesis & reporting: group findings by theme, identify consensus, contradictions, and gaps, and produce a formal research report with references.

Quick Start

Provide a topic and I will run an autonomous literature review with verified citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a literature review with verified citations from PubMed and Semantic Scholar?

To automate a literature review, provide a research topic to trigger an autonomous pipeline that searches PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv. The process validates each source, enforces citation accuracy, and outputs a structured research report with date-stamped artifacts.

What is the best way to plan a research topic structure before searching academic databases?

Research planning generates a structured outline by breaking a topic into sub-questions, search terms, and scope definitions. This creates a plan.json output that guides the subsequent literature discovery and validation stages.

Can I use this autonomous pipeline to identify research gaps and contradictions in scholarly literature?

Yes, the pipeline synthesizes discovered literature by grouping findings into themes. It explicitly identifies scientific consensus, contradictions, and gaps in the validated research, delivering these insights within the final formal report.

How does citation validation work to prevent fabricated sources in automated research reports?

Citation validation cross-checks discovered sources against PubMed and Semantic Scholar records to ensure authenticity. This mechanism prevents fabricated citations by enforcing strict end-to-end workflow requirements before generating the final verified citation JSON.

Are there rate limits I need to consider when running multi-database searches across arXiv and PubMed?

Yes, the autonomous research pipeline respects external rate limits during multi-database searches across PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv. This ensures continuous literature discovery without hitting API access restrictions.

What structured outputs does an automated literature review pipeline produce?

The pipeline produces a plan.json file for research scope, a verified citation JSON for validated sources, and a formal research report. These structured outputs maintain consistent file paths and date-stamped artifacts for reliable retrieval.
