SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires task, arxiv_search.py, citation_graph.py, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of conducting systematic literature reviews, allowing users to efficiently synthesize findings from multiple academic papers and generate formatted reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Literature Review: Generate comprehensive reviews of academic papers, synthesizing findings across multiple sources.
  • PRISMA Compliance: Provide PRISMA-compliant reviews for systematic literature reviews.
  • Citation Formatting: Support APA, IEEE, and BibTeX citation formats.
  • Use Case: For a user who wants to understand the current state of research on a specific topic, like "transformer attention variants", this skill can search arXiv, extract metadata, synthesize themes, and generate a report in APA format.

Quick Start

To perform a systematic literature review on a topic, use the following command: systematic-literature-review <topic> <paper count> <time window> <citation format>

Frequently Asked Questions about systematic-literature-review

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a systematic literature review on arXiv papers?▼

To conduct a systematic literature review, this Skill searches arXiv for your specified research topic, extracts structured metadata via subagents, synthesizes findings, and generates a formatted report.

How do I generate a PRISMA-compliant systematic review report?▼

You can generate a PRISMA-compliant systematic review report by specifying your research topic, paper count, and time window, allowing the Skill to synthesize academic findings into structured outputs.

Can I format academic paper citations in APA, IEEE, and BibTeX?▼

Yes, citation formatting supports APA, IEEE, and BibTeX formats, allowing you to specify your preferred style when generating the synthesized literature review report.

What is the best way to synthesize research themes across multiple academic papers?▼

The best way to synthesize research themes is using parallel metadata extraction via subagents, which processes multiple academic papers to identify and synthesize findings across sources.

Do I need API access for citation graph traversal during a literature review?▼

Yes, citation graph traversal during a literature review may require additional API access to fully map the relationships between extracted academic papers.

Does this literature review tool support research topics outside of arXiv?▼

Currently, the systematic literature review mechanism specifically searches arXiv to extract academic paper metadata, meaning it does not support platforms outside of arXiv.
