SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Semantic Scholar search helps you locate published journal and conference papers (beyond arXiv preprints) and quickly assess them using venue details, citation counts, and TLDR/abstracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Published-venue discovery: Retrieve IEEE/ACM/Springer-style journal and conference papers by query, DOI, Semantic Scholar ID, or other identifiers.
  • Quality signals: Rank and filter using citationCount and publication metadata (venue, year, publication type).
  • De-duplication against arXiv: Detect when a paper also exists on arXiv via externalIds.ArXiv and avoid re-fetching arXiv content.
  • Research wiki ingestion (optional): If a research-wiki directory exists, ingest results automatically into the wiki with the appropriate identifiers.

Quick Start

Use the semantic-scholar skill to search for “sleep research automation” and return the top results with citations and venue metadata.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find published journal papers and conference proceedings by topic or DOI?

To find published journal papers, search by topic query, DOI, Semantic Scholar ID, or CorpusId. The skill retrieves published papers matching your identifier and returns citation counts, venue metadata, publication type, and TLDR summaries.

Can I get citation counts and venue metadata for journal papers beyond arXiv preprints?

Yes, you can get citation counts and venue metadata for journal papers beyond arXiv preprints. The skill targets published IEEE, ACM, and Springer-style conference and journal papers, providing publication venue, year, and citation analysis data.

Does literature search automatically de-duplicate results when a paper also exists on arXiv?

Yes, literature search automatically de-duplicates results when a paper also exists on arXiv. It detects matching arXiv preprints via externalIds.ArXiv and avoids re-fetching arXiv content.

What is the best way to ingest literature search results into a research wiki?

The best way to ingest literature search results into a research wiki is using the optional research-wiki ingestion feature. If a research-wiki directory exists, the skill automatically ingests results with appropriate identifiers.

How do I filter journal papers by field of study and publication type during research automation?

To filter journal papers by field of study and publication type during research automation, the skill applies default field-of-study and publication-type filters to your Semantic Scholar API query.
