Use this skill when users need to search academic papers, download research documents, extract citations, or gather scholarly information. Triggers include: requests to "find papers on", "search research about", "download academic articles", "get citations for", or any request involving academic databases like arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, or Google Scholar. Also use for literature reviews, bibliography generation, and research discovery. Requires OpenClawCLI installation from clawhub.ai.
Search academic papers and conduct literature reviews using OpenAlex API (free, no key needed). Use when the user needs to find scholarly papers by topic/author/DOI, explore citation chains, get structured paper metadata (title, authors, abstract, citations, DOI, open access URL), fetch full text of open access papers, or conduct automated literature reviews with theme identification and synthesis. Triggers on requests involving academic search, paper lookup, citation analysis, literature review, research synthesis, or scholarly reference gathering.
Use AI4Scholar author tools to search scholars, inspect author profiles, retrieve an author's papers, compare experts, identify potential reviewers, map labs or collaborators, and verify whether an author is the correct person.
Use AI4Scholar auto_cite to add real citations to academic text and return formatted references and BibTeX. Trigger for automatic citation insertion, APA/IEEE/Vancouver/Nature citation support, reference generation, BibTeX export, or checking whether claims have real supporting papers.
Use AI4Scholar to trace citation networks: citing papers, references, PubMed related papers, backward/forward citation search, classic paper discovery, mechanism literature expansion, and reviewer-style citation gap checks.
Use AI4Scholar to retrieve and verify detailed metadata for one paper or many papers by DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, Semantic Scholar ID, or title. Trigger for paper detail lookup, batch paper metadata, DOI verification, PMID verification, BibTeX preparation, reference cleanup, or checking whether a cited paper is real.
Use AI4Scholar recommendation tools to find related papers from one or more seed papers, build reading lists, expand a literature map, and discover papers adjacent to a user's theory, method, dataset, or empirical context.
