Which academic sources does OpenCite search?

OpenCite aggregates results from Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and medRxiv, providing a unified interface for academic discovery.

Do I need API keys to use this skill?

While basic searching works without keys, providing API keys for Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex is recommended for higher rate limits and comprehensive access to metadata.

Can OpenCite convert scientific PDFs into a format Claude can read?

Yes, it includes built-in support for converting PDFs to markdown, preserving mathematical formulas and tables to ensure the content is optimized for AI analysis.

How does the 'canonical' command help with research?

The canonical command identifies the most-cited, foundational papers for a specific topic, helping researchers quickly establish a baseline of the core literature in a field.

Does it support batch processing for large literature reviews?

Yes, OpenCite includes a batch-fetch command that can download and convert multiple papers at once based on a JSON search results file.
