Frequently Asked Questions about summarize-academic-paper

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a LaTeX summary from an economics paper PDF?▼

To generate a LaTeX summary from a PDF, provide the document to the Skill, which extracts text, metadata, and captions, then populates a structured two-page template for immediate rendering. It automates formatting for seminar preparation and colleague sharing.

Can I create a paper summary using a DOI or URL instead of a local PDF?▼

Yes, you can generate a paper summary using a DOI or URL. The Skill fetches the source document remotely, resolves it to a PDF or text, and extracts the required content to produce the structured LaTeX report.

Does this Skill extract figure and table captions for the LaTeX report?▼

Yes, the Skill extracts figure and table captions during ingestion. It organizes this caption data alongside extracted text and metadata into a structured content JSON before populating the LaTeX template.

What happens if the input DOI or URL cannot resolve to a valid PDF?▼

If an input DOI or URL cannot resolve to a valid PDF or text, the process enforces validation and stops. All inputs must be resolvable, and required sections in the final content JSON must be non-empty to generate output.

Do I need a separate bibliography tool to manage citations for the summary?▼

The Skill integrates with a bibliography workflow to populate references.bib and adjust styling. This integration ensures precise citations are maintained within the generated two-page LaTeX summary.
