SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers locate relevant scientific papers across major databases to support literature reviews and citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search: query PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar from a single prompt.
  • Result curation: retrieve titles, authors, year, citations, and DOIs/URLs for quick reference.
  • Use Case: a researcher needs 10 recent papers on a topic and wants a ready-to-share bibliography.

Quick Start

  • Ask for a topic, domain, recency, and number of results (default 10-15).
  • The agent will query PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar and return a ranked list with DOIs/URLs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for scientific papers across multiple databases like PubMed and arXiv at once?

To search for scientific papers across multiple databases, query a topic, domain, and recency to gather results from PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar simultaneously. The system enforces querying at least two databases and returns a ranked markdown report with titles, authors, citations, and DOIs.

Can I find biomedical preprints and computer science papers using the same literature search?

Yes, you can find biomedical preprints and computer science papers in the same literature search. The tool queries PubMed and bioRxiv for biomedical topics alongside arXiv for CS/AI/ML and physics, returning consolidated results with citations and URLs.

What is the best way to get a ranked bibliography with DOIs for recent research papers?

The best way to get a ranked bibliography with DOIs is to specify your topic and desired number of results. The tool ranks papers by relevance and citation counts across databases, outputting a structured markdown list containing authors, years, and direct DOI URLs.

Does multi-database literature search work for interdisciplinary physics and biology topics?

Yes, multi-database literature search works for interdisciplinary physics and biology topics. It supports cross-domain queries by pulling from Semantic Scholar alongside arXiv, bioRxiv, and PubMed, ensuring comprehensive coverage for interdisciplinary research papers.

How many papers can I retrieve in a single literature search request?

You can retrieve 10 to 15 papers in a single literature search request by default. You specify the desired number of results, and the system queries the databases to return that many ranked scientific papers with their corresponding citations and DOIs.

Why does my scientific paper search query multiple databases instead of just one?

Your scientific paper search queries multiple databases instead of just one to ensure comprehensive literature coverage. The system enforces querying at least two sources, aggregating results from PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar to rank papers by relevance and citations.
