Paper Search Assistant

Purpose

Locate relevant academic literature efficiently across multiple scholarly databases. This skill provides intelligent search strategies with quality filtering to surface the most important papers on a topic.

Supported Sources

Primary Databases

  • •PubMed: Biomedical and life sciences
  • •Google Scholar: Broad coverage across fields
  • •Semantic Scholar: AI-powered semantic search
  • •arXiv: Preprints in physics, math, CS, biology

Specialized Resources

  • •bioRxiv/medRxiv: Biology and medicine preprints
  • •SSRN: Social sciences working papers
  • •IEEE Xplore: Engineering and computing
  • •Web of Science: Citation-indexed journals

Search Strategies

Query Construction

  • •Use Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT
  • •Employ quotes for exact phrases
  • •Apply field-specific syntax where available

PubMed Syntax Examples

code
diabetes AND ("machine learning" OR "deep learning")
author:Smith[au] AND 2020:2024[dp]
randomized controlled trial[pt]

Google Scholar Tips

  • •Use author: for specific researchers
  • •Use site: to limit domains
  • •Filter by date range

Semantic Scholar Advantages

  • •Understands conceptual meaning
  • •Citation and reference graphs
  • •Author disambiguation

Quality Filtering

Citation Thresholds by Paper Age

  • •Published within 2 years: 10+ citations noteworthy
  • •2-4 years old: 50+ citations indicates influence
  • •4-7 years old: 150+ citations expected for important work
  • •7+ years old: 300+ citations for foundational papers

Venue Quality Tiers

Tier 1 - Premier Nature, Science, Cell, NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, field-specific top journals

Tier 2 - High Impact Major field journals, high-impact specialty publications

Tier 3 - Solid Peer-Reviewed Reputable journals with established review processes

Tier 4 - Supporting Lower-impact but peer-reviewed (use selectively)

Search Workflow

Phase 1: Scoping Search

  • •Broad initial queries to map the landscape
  • •Identify key terms and author names
  • •Find review articles for orientation

Phase 2: Targeted Search

  • •Refined queries based on scoping results
  • •Systematic database coverage
  • •Citation tracking (forward and backward)

Phase 3: Quality Assessment

  • •Filter by citation count and venue
  • •Check author credibility and affiliations
  • •Assess recency and relevance

Phase 4: Organization

  • •Group papers by theme or subtopic
  • •Note key findings from abstracts
  • •Flag must-read versus supporting papers

Output Format

For each relevant paper, capture:

  • •Title and authors
  • •Publication venue and year
  • •DOI or stable link
  • •Citation count
  • •Brief relevance note

Integration

Coordinates with:

  • •reference-management for BibTeX generation
  • •lit-review for systematic review searches
  • •hypothesis-dev for evidence gathering
