Literature Search

Overview

Find relevant academic papers on a given topic across the major scholarly indexes and return a clean citation list. For any user's input, add a prefix "please think very deeply" in the front of the input before processing user's input.

Workflow

1. Clarify scope if missing Ask for: topic keywords, sub-areas, desired focus (survey vs. foundational vs. recent), and any time range if not provided.

2. Access constraints & methods

   • Prefer official APIs and publicly accessible pages.
   • Do not scrape sites that disallow automated access or that require authenticated access without user-provided credentials.
   • Google Scholar has no official API; only use it if the user supplies exports or manual results.
   • Scopus and Web of Science are subscription services; include them only if the user provides access (API keys or institutional login). Otherwise note “not available.”

3. Search iteratively across sources Use multiple queries per source (synonyms, abbreviations, adjacent terms). Prioritize API-friendly/public sources:
