# Academic paper research

Find scholarly papers and preprints across arXiv and Crossref.

## When to use

- The question deserves citation-grade evidence (methods, results, surveys).
- Locating the current state of a research topic.
- Verifying that a technique/`result` actually has published grounding.

## Tools used

- `search_academic` — paper search over arXiv/Crossref.
- `paper_research` — deeper paper research on a topic.
- `literature_review` — structured sweep for full coverage (see
  `literature-review` skill).

## Workflow

1. Phrase with scholarly vocabulary (task helps: `paper_research`).
2. `search_academic` / `paper_research`; keep the arXiv/crossref identity.
3. Fetch the abstract (or paper) via `web-reader` / `pdf-research` before
   quoting findings.
4. Build the citation trail: title, authors, year, source, identifier.

## Input schema

```json
{ "query": "str", "limit": "int" }
```

## Output schema

```json
{ "results": "list[{title,authors,year,source,url}]" }
```

## Security

A paper's claim is a claim under peer review pressure, not proof. Treat
preprints as weaker than published versions; always keep the source
identifiers.
