academic-research

系统化开展学术文献检索，并对文献来源进行优先级排序，同时按照 APA 第七版规范进行引用。 当用户需要借助学术文献深入研究某一主题、以严谨的学术依据验证相关论断、查找同行评议的实证证据、汇总研究成果，或生成格式规范且引用准确的报告时，可选用此技能。 触发词包括：“研究 [主题]”、“关于…的研究表明什么？”、“查找有关…的研究”、“验证这一论断…”、“文献综述”、“获取…的学术资源”、“同行评议的证据”、“关于…的学术论文”、“循证研究”、“为…提供引用来源”。本技能仅具备基础的 APA 引用功能；若需处理更复杂的引用任务（如各类复杂文献类型、特殊场景案例，或批量格式化），建议使用 `apa-style-citation` 技能，其在引用领域拥有更为专业的知识与能力。

  Systematic academic literature search with source prioritization and APA 7th edition citations.
  Use when the user needs to research a topic with scholarly sources, verify claims with academic
  backing, find peer-reviewed evidence, compile research findings, or generate properly cited reports.
  Triggers: "research [topic]", "what does the research say about...", "find studies on...",
  "verify this claim...", "literature review", "academic sources for...", "peer-reviewed evidence",
  "scholarly articles about...", "evidence-based", "cite sources for...". This skill provides
  basic APA citation capabilities; for advanced citation work (complex source types, edge cases,
  batch formatting), consider the `apa-style-citation` skill which offers enhanced citation expertise.

Academic Research Skill

Systematic literature search with source prioritization and APA 7th edition citations.

Research Workflow

1. Search Strategy (Execute in Order)

Phase 1 - Academic databases (Priority 1-2):

  • •site:scholar.google.com [topic]
  • •site:pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov [topic]
  • •site:semanticscholar.org [topic]
  • •site:arxiv.org [topic]

Phase 2 - Institutional (Priority 3-4):

  • •site:edu [topic] research
  • •site:gov [topic]
  • •site:who.int OR site:un.org [topic]

Phase 3 - General (only if needed):

  • •Verify author credentials before citing
  • •Cross-reference with academic sources

2. Classify & Tag Sources

Classify each source by priority (1=highest, 6=lowest). See references/source_hierarchy.md for domain patterns.

Apply uncertainty markers to findings:

  • •[UNVERIFIED] - single source only
  • •[CONFLICTING] - sources disagree
  • •[INDUSTRY SOURCE] - potential commercial bias
  • •[PREPRINT] - not peer-reviewed
  • •[OUTDATED] - >5 years old in fast-moving field
  • •[SECONDARY] - primary source not accessed

3. Generate Report

markdown
# Research Report: [Topic]

**Query:** [question]
**Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD]

## Executive Summary
[2-3 paragraph synthesis]

## Methodology
- Search queries used
- Databases searched
- Inclusion/exclusion criteria

## Findings
### [Theme 1]
[Content with inline citations (Author, Year)]

## Source Quality Assessment
| Source | Type | Priority | Notes |
|--------|------|----------|-------|

## Uncertainties and Limitations
- [conflicts, gaps, biases]

## References
[APA 7th edition, alphabetized]

APA Citation Basics

Inline: (Smith, 2023) or (Smith et al., 2023) for 3+ authors

Common reference formats:

  • •Journal: Author, A. (Year). Title of article. Journal Name, Vol(Issue), pp–pp. https://doi.org/xxx
  • •Website: Author. (Year, Month Day). Title. Site Name. https://url
  • •Report: Organization. (Year). Title of report. https://url

For complete APA 7th edition rules, edge cases, and additional source types, see references/apa_citation.md.

Note: For advanced citation work (complex source types, legal/media citations, batch formatting), the apa-style-citation skill provides enhanced expertise.

Quality Checklist

Before finalizing:

  • • All claims have citations
  • • Source hierarchy followed (prioritize peer-reviewed)
  • • Conflicts noted with [CONFLICTING] marker
  • • Uncertainties section populated
  • • References complete in APA format

Core Rules

  1. •Never fabricate sources - if no evidence exists, say so
  2. •Acknowledge limitations - be transparent about gaps
  3. •Maintain objectivity - present conflicting evidence fairly
  4. •Prioritize recency - prefer recent sources unless historical context needed
  5. •Weight by priority - higher priority sources trump lower when conflicting
