How does the skill handle citation accuracy?

The skill includes a dedicated verification script that validates DOIs against CrossRef metadata to ensure every reference is accurate and consistently formatted.

Which academic databases does this skill support?

It integrates with PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and specialized databases like ChEMBL and UniProt via the gget and bioservices tools.

Can I generate visual diagrams for my review?

Yes, the skill requires the inclusion of AI-generated scientific schematics, such as PRISMA flowcharts and thematic synthesis diagrams, to ensure publication-quality visuals.

Is this skill restricted to biomedical research?

While it features robust biomedical toolsets, its methodology and database integrations (like arXiv and Semantic Scholar) make it suitable for all technical, scientific, and social science domains.

Learning & Documentation

Conducts systematic literature reviews across multiple academic databases with automated citation verification and scientific diagram generation.

About

The Literature Review skill empowers researchers and technical writers to execute rigorous, multi-database literature searches and synthesize findings into professional reports. It streamlines the systematic review process by automating database querying (PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar), deduplicating results, verifying DOI-based citations via CrossRef, and generating publication-quality visualizations like PRISMA flow diagrams. Designed for academic excellence, this skill ensures methodological consistency and professional formatting in both Markdown and PDF formats, making it indispensable for writing theses, whitepapers, and peer-reviewed research.
