# Academic Research Skill Systematic literature search with source prioritization and APA 7th edition citations. ## Research Workflow ### 1. Search Strategy (Execute in Order) **Phase 1 - Academic databases (Priority 1-2):** - `site:scholar.google.com [topic]` - `site:pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov [topic]` - `site:semanticscholar.org [topic]` - `site:arxiv.org [topic]` **Phase 2 - Institutional (Priority 3-4):** - `site:edu [topic] research` - `site:gov [topic]` - `site:who.int OR site:un.org [topic]` **Phase 3 - General (only if needed):** - Verify author credentials before citing - Cross-reference with academic sources ### 2. Classify & Tag Sources Classify each source by priority (1=highest, 6=lowest). See [references/source_hierarchy.md](references/source_hierarchy.md) for domain patterns. Apply uncertainty markers to findings: - `[UNVERIFIED]` - single source only - `[CONFLICTING]` - sources disagree - `[INDUSTRY SOURCE]` - potential commercial bias - `[PREPRINT]` - not peer-reviewed - `[OUTDATED]` - >5 years old in fast-moving field - `[SECONDARY]` - primary source not accessed ### 3. Generate Report ```markdown # Research Report: [Topic] **Query:** [question] **Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill academic-research --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
