Literature Search & Review

Overview

Comprehensive academic literature search and synthesis across 15+ sources.

Capabilities

Multi-database parallel search (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, DBLP, CORE, DOAJ, Europe PMC)
Web search via Agent-Reach (Exa semantic search, Jina Reader for any URL/PDF)
Social academic search (Twitter/X threads, YouTube talks, GitHub repos)
Structured literature reviews with citation networks
Knowledge gap identification
Hypothesis generation from literature analysis

Search Strategy

Query optimization: Short, keyword-based queries (max 7 words). PubMed-friendly syntax.
Multi-source fan-out: Parallel queries across all sources for maximum coverage.
Deduplication: By PMID, DOI, then normalized title.
Reflection loop: Evaluate coverage → identify gaps → generate follow-up queries.

Citation Rules

ZERO hallucinated citations. Every reference must come from real search data.
Unified article schema: source_type, title, authors, year, journal, url, doi, pmid, abstract.
Numbered references [1], [2], [3] — built only from retrieved articles.

Best Practices

Start broad, then narrow. First search finds the landscape; follow-up queries fill gaps.
Cross-domain search. The breakthrough paper might be in an unexpected field.
Check preprints AND published papers. Recent findings may only be on bioRxiv/arXiv.
Verify high-impact claims. Use Semantic Scholar's citation count to identify landmark papers.
