Does this skill require API keys?

While it functions with public APIs, users can configure keys for Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed, and Mistral to access higher rate limits and enhanced conversion features.

Which academic databases does OpenCite support?

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

Can OpenCite convert academic PDFs with math and tables?

Yes, it includes built-in support for PDF-to-markdown conversion using MarkItDown and can leverage Mistral AI for superior handling of complex math, tables, and image extraction.

Can I use OpenCite for batch paper processing?

Yes, the batch-fetch command allows you to download and convert multiple papers from a JSON or text file, organizing them into a structured directory for analysis.

How does OpenCite handle paywalled papers?

It prioritizes open-access sources and PMC. If configured with publisher tokens for Elsevier, Wiley, or Springer, it can retrieve PDFs via authenticated access.
