Elsevier Paper Miner
Purpose
Mine the local paper_templates/ corpus for manuscript architecture. This skill studies structure, section flow, evidence organization, table/figure/caption logic, and reviewer-risk patterns. It must not copy text, figures, tables, captions, equations, benchmark interpretations, or paper-specific claims.
Corpus sources
- Corpus manifest:
paper_templates/corpus_manifest.yaml and paper_templates/corpus_manifest.json
- Paper cards:
paper_templates/cards/
- Extracted structure maps:
paper_templates/extracted_structure_maps/
- Thematic mining notes:
paper_templates/mining_notes/
- Open-access papers bundled in this release: 6
- Official template/manual PDFs bundled in this release: 1
When to use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- a template-paper based section skeleton;
- abstract / introduction / related work / method / experiment patterns;
- table, figure, or caption style mining;
- reviewer-risk lessons derived from lawful open-access examples;
- journal-specific examples without copying source content.
Required operating rules
- Use only corpus entries with allowed source/license metadata.
- Prefer
paper_templates/cards/<paper-id>.md before opening the PDF.
- Use
extracted_structure_maps/ for section sequencing and visual-evidence patterns.
- Use
mining_notes/ for cross-paper style summaries.
- Never copy source text, captions, figures, tables, equations, or paper-specific claims.
- If the user wants submission/legal guidance, route to
elsevier-skill-suite and official-source fragments instead of relying on template papers.
- For real submission, live-check publisher and target-journal instructions.
Workflow
- Detect target publisher, journal, article type, and manuscript component.
- Select the smallest relevant corpus subset.
- Read the Paper Card first; use the PDF only to confirm structural observations.
- Extract a neutral skeleton or checklist.
- Rewrite using the user's own evidence, terminology, and experimental results.
- Return a copyright-safe output with a source-use warning.
Output contract
Return:
- selected corpus entries;
- source/license status;
- structural observations;
- reusable section skeleton;
- table/figure/caption lessons if relevant;
- reviewer-risk checklist;
- forbidden-copying warning;
- items requiring live official-source verification.
v1.2.0 evaluation benchmark awareness
When demonstrating this skill, prefer the benchmark tasks in evals/tasks/ and sample-output contracts in evals/sample_outputs/. For paper-mining tasks, always include a copyright-safe warning and use template papers only for structure and pattern extraction.
Extracted visual assets
Use paper_templates/extracted_visual_assets/ when the user wants to analyze main figures, motivation/framework diagrams, or table design patterns. These assets are for structure analysis only and must not be copied into manuscripts. Always include the copyright-safe warning and point to visual_asset_manifest.json when citing the corpus internally.
