What problem does it solve?
It helps researchers rapidly discover philosophy literature, pull authoritative bibliographies from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP), and assemble properly formatted Chicago citations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- SEP literature search and bibliography extraction: Search SEP entries and extract the bibliography section to get curated, field-relevant references.
- PhilPapers API discovery: Query PhilPapers for philosophy works by concept/topic (with optional category and year filtering) and normalize bibliographic metadata.
- Systematic review + citation tracing: Build a deduplicated unified bibliography across sources and trace a concept’s publication trajectory over time.
- Chicago-style citation formatting: Generate Notes and Author-Date citation strings suitable for humanities and interdisciplinary scholarship workflows.
Quick Start
Use sep-literature to run a systematic literature review on "moral luck" and export a unified Chicago-ready bibliography.
