# Scientific Research

> Perform scientific and scholarly research workflows across literature review, paper evaluation, PubMed/NCBI, USPTO patent and trademark lookup, and gget bioinformatics queries. Use for academic evidence reviews, biomedical literature, scholar evaluation, patents/IP research, genomics lookup, or the old scientific-db/scientific-thinking/scientific-pkg skills.

# Scientific Research

Use this skill for rigorous scientific, academic, biomedical, patent, and bioinformatics evidence work.

## Routing

- Read `references/literature-review.md` for systematic literature review planning, screening, synthesis, and citation checks.
- Read `references/scholar-evaluation.md` for evaluating papers, proposals, methods, evidence quality, and citation support.
- Read `references/pubmed-database.md` for PubMed, NCBI E-utilities, MeSH, PMID lookup, and biomedical monitoring.
- Read `references/uspto-database.md` for USPTO patent/trademark lookup, PatentSearch, TSDR, assignments, and IP research logs.
- Read `references/gget.md` for genomic database queries, sequence lookup, enrichment checks, and reproducible bioinformatics logs.

## Workflow

1. Define the research question, inclusion boundaries, and evidence standard.
2. Prefer primary databases and original papers over summaries.
3. Track query terms, filters, databases, dates, and exclusions.
4. Separate findings, limitations, and interpretation.
5. Avoid medical, legal, investment, or IP certainty beyond the evidence.

## Output

Provide a concise synthesis, evidence table or source list when useful, and confidence/limitations.
