How can I track the most recent publications?

You can use the built-in 'days-back' shortcut to quickly retrieve all preprints posted within a specific recent timeframe, such as the last 30 or 90 days.

Can I search for papers in specific biological fields?

Yes, the skill supports over 25 bioRxiv categories, including genomics, neuroscience, biochemistry, and bioengineering, to help refine your search results.

What metadata format does the skill provide?

All search results are returned as structured JSON, which includes titles, authors, institutions, publication dates, abstracts, and DOI links for easy integration into other tools.

Does the skill handle multiple versions of preprints?

Yes, the metadata includes a version field to help you track revisions, and PDF download URLs are version-specific to ensure you get the correct document.

Does this skill support downloading full-text papers?

Yes, you can download preprint PDFs directly using a specific DOI or automate batch downloads for a list of search results.
