Research Workflows

Workflow 1: Literature Review Sweep

1. Run search_literature_graph with a focused query and year range.
2. Refine with sources and fields_of_study if result quality is mixed.
3. Use search_google_scholar_advanced when you need stricter author/year/phrase filtering.
4. Save shortlisted papers for ingestion.

Prompt example:

Find 15 papers from 2022-2026 on retrieval-augmented generation evaluation methods. Prioritize benchmark-heavy studies.

Workflow 2: Full-Text Extraction Pipeline

1. Start ingestion with ingest_paper_fulltext using DOI, paper URL, direct PDF URL, or local PDF path.
2. Poll with get_ingestion_status until succeeded.
3. Extract structured outputs with extract_granular_paper_details.
4. Use extracted claims, methods, and limitations in your notes or draft.

Prompt example:

Ingest DOI 10.1038/s41467-024-55563-6, wait until complete, then extract methods, datasets, and limitations.

Workflow 3: Citation Support for Drafts

1. Feed manuscript text into suggest_contextual_citations.
2. Generate formatted references via build_reference_list.
3. Validate inline citations and references using validate_manuscript_citations.
4. Iterate until missing/duplicate citation issues are resolved.

Prompt example:

Suggest citations for this draft section in IEEE style, then build BibTeX and validate consistency.

Workflow 4: Author-Centric Discovery

1. Use get_author_info to resolve the author and top publications.
2. Expand from those publications using search_literature_graph.
3. Ingest the highest-value papers and extract structured summaries.
