academic-research-hub
Use this skill when users need to search academic papers, download research documents, extract citations, or gather scholarly information. Triggers include: requests to \"find papers on\", \"search research about\", \"download academic articles\", \"get citations for\", or any request involving academic databases like arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, or Google Scholar. Also use for literature reviews, bibliography generation, and research discovery.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Academic Research Hub ## Overview Academic Research Hub provides unified access to multiple academic databases (arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, etc.) for searching papers, downloading PDFs, extracting citations, and generating bibliographies. It is the recommended tool for literature review and reference management in NeuroClaw. **Prerequisite:** Install [OpenClawCLI](https://clawhub.ai/) (Windows, MacOS) ## Installation **Best Practices:** ```bash # Standard installation pip install arxiv scholarly pubmed-parser semanticscholar requests # If you encounter permission errors, use a virtual environment python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate pip install arxiv scholarly pubmed-parser semanticscholar requests ``` **Never use `--break-system-packages`** as it can damage your system's Python installation. ## Quick Reference | Task | Command | |-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Search arXiv | `python scripts/research.py arxiv "quantum computing"` | | Search PubMed | `python scripts/research.py pubmed "covid vaccine"` | | Search Semantic Scholar | `python scripts/research.py semantic "machine lear

What does the academic-research-hub skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill academic-research-hub --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
