SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Systematic, evidence-based literature reviews are essential for credible research but are time-consuming and error-prone. This skill streamlines planning, multi-database searching, screening, synthesis, and documentation to deliver reproducible outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search orchestration: coordinates searches across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and more, with export-ready results.
  • Systematic screening & synthesis: supports deduplication, title/abstract/full-text screening, thematic synthesis, and documentation of decisions.
  • Publication-ready output: generates Markdown and PDF reports with PRISMA-style flow, including properly formatted citations.

Quick Start

Create a comprehensive literature review document by aggregating results from multiple databases and generating a publication-ready Markdown and PDF report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a systematic literature review across multiple databases?▼

Automate a systematic literature review by orchestrating searches across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar. The workflow guides planning, multi-database searching, deduplication, screening, and synthesis to deliver reproducible, publication-ready outputs.

Can I generate a PRISMA flow diagram for my systematic review?▼

Yes, you can generate a PRISMA flow diagram for your systematic review. The workflow automatically documents screening decisions and produces publication-ready Markdown and PDF reports that include properly formatted PRISMA-style flow diagrams and citations.

What is the best way to synthesize biomedical literature for publication?▼

Synthesize biomedical literature by applying thematic synthesis to screened full-text articles. The workflow supports title, abstract, and full-text screening, aggregates results from multiple literature databases, and formats the final synthesis into publication-ready Markdown and PDF reports.

Does this systematic review workflow support citation verification and deduplication?▼

Yes, the systematic review workflow supports citation verification and deduplication. It automatically removes duplicate records during the screening phase, verifies citations across aggregated multi-database search results, and documents all decisions for reproducible research outputs.

How do I screen titles and abstracts for a multi-database literature search?▼

Screen titles and abstracts for a multi-database literature search using the built-in systematic screening workflow. After aggregating results from PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar, the tool applies deduplication and guides title, abstract, and full-text screening with documented decisions.
