Definition

  • •ID: citationchaser
  • •Type: Command
  • •Author: Research Skills
  • •Description: Find papers that cite a seed paper (forward) or papers it cites (backward)

Commands

Backward Citation Chasing

code
/citationchaser backward "10.1145/1234567"

Find all papers referenced by the given paper.

Forward Citation Chasing

code
/citationchaser forward "10.1145/1234567"

Find all papers that cite the given paper.

Export to RIS

code
/citationchaser forward "10.1145/1234567" --export citations.ris

Export results in RIS format for import to Zotero/EndNote.

Requirements

  • •Python 3.10+
  • •Web browser or curl (for accessing Lens.org)
  • •No API keys needed (web-based, uses Lens.org)

Setup

  1. •Install as part of skills-research:
    bash
    cd ~/.claude/skills/skills-research/literature-search/citationchaser

DOI Formats Supported

  • •DOI: 10.1145/3706598
  • •DOI with prefix: https://doi.org/10.1145/3706598
  • •PMID: 12345678

Examples

code
/citationchaser backward "10.1145/3706598"
/citationchaser forward "doi:10.1145/3706598"
/citationchaser backward "10.1145/3706598" --export backward_refs.ris
/citationchaser forward "PMID:12345678"

Workflow for Systematic Reviews

  1. •Find seed papers in your literature (e.g., highly cited)
  2. •Backward chasing: Find all papers they cite
  3. •Forward chasing: Find all papers citing them
  4. •Export to RIS: Import results to Zotero for screening
  5. •Use ris-to-zotero skill to import to collection

Notes

  • •Lens.org is a free web-based citation index
  • •No rate limiting issues (reasonable usage)
  • •RIS export is compatible with Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote
  • •Best used as part of systematic review workflow with ris-to-zotero
