Can I use this for non-medical research?

Yes, while it supports medical frameworks like PICO, it is equally effective for computer science, physics, social sciences, and any technical domain requiring thematic synthesis.

Does it create visual aids for the reviews?

Yes, it integrates with the scientific-schematics skill to automatically generate required visuals such as PRISMA flowcharts, search strategy maps, and conceptual frameworks.

How does the skill ensure citation accuracy?

The skill includes a specialized verification script that checks DOIs against the CrossRef database to ensure all metadata, author names, and publication dates are 100% accurate.

Which academic databases are supported?

It supports a wide range of databases including PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and specialized sources like gget and bioservices for life sciences.
