Academic Search

When to Use

Use these tools instead of web search for any academic or literature-related query.

Common Workflows

• Find Papers: Use search_works (OpenAlex) or search_papers (Semantic Scholar) with a query and publication year.
• Research an Author: Use search_authors to find an author's ID, then use retrieve_author_works to get their publications.
• Medical Research: Use search_pubmed for clinical or biomedical topics.
