alterlab-citation-graph
From the author
Free ResearchRabbit / Connected Papers analog — builds a citation and co-citation graph around one or more seed papers using the OpenAlex API. Walks both directions of the citation network (works the seed cites and works that cite the seed), ranks the discovered neighbourhood by co-citation strength and bibliographic coupling to surface the papers most central to a topic's literature, and exports the network as GraphML (Gephi / Cytoscape / yEd) and JSON. Use when mapping a literature landscape, finding seminal or highly co-cited papers from a seed DOI, snowballing a reference network, building a citation map / co-citation analysis, or visualizing how a research area's papers connect — no subscription needed (a free OpenAlex API key is recommended). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-openalexAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsQuery and analyze scholarly literature using the OpenAlex API across 300M+ works, retrieving papers, authors, institutions, citations, and open access status. Use when searching academic papers, tracking citations, finding works by author or institution, analyzing research trends, discovering open access publications, or running bibliometric analysis.

- openalexwanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleepSearch academic papers via OpenAlex API for open citation data, institutional affiliations, and funding information. Use when user says "openalex search", "search openalex", "open citation graph", or wants comprehensive academic metadata beyond arXiv/Semantic Scholar.Science★ 18K
- alterlab-parallel-webAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsSearch the web, run deep research, and extract content from known URLs via Parallel Web Systems — the Chat API (Beta, OpenAI-compatible `base`/`core` research models) for synthesized answers with inline citations and the Extract API v1 for URL content — with notes on the raw Search, Task, and Responses APIs. Use when running general web searches, current-events/market/technical lookups, broad information gathering, comprehensive research reports, or verifying a specific URL's content (requires PARALLEL_API_KEY). For scholarly paper retrieval or dual-backend academic lookup that auto-routes to Perplexity prefer alterlab-research-lookup instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
- alterlab-citation-mgmtAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsManages citations for academic research — searches Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extracts complete metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, and arXiv IDs (CrossRef, doi.org content negotiation, NCBI E-utilities, arXiv API), validates BibTeX entries for required fields, format, and duplicates, and generates or cleans properly formatted BibTeX. Use when finding papers, converting DOIs to BibTeX, cleaning or deduplicating a .bib file, checking reference metadata in scientific writing, or building a bibliography. To prove that cited references actually exist or to flag fabricated or retracted citations prefer alterlab-citation-verifier; for Zotero library operations use alterlab-pyzotero.

- alterlab-research-lookupAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsLook up current research and scholarly papers by auto-routing each query to the best backend — the Parallel Web Systems Chat API (general research) or Perplexity sonar-pro-search via OpenRouter (academic paper searches) — and save every result with citations to sources/. Use when finding papers, gathering research data, verifying scientific claims, or assembling citation lists and unsure which search backend fits. For plain general web search or extracting content from a known URL prefer alterlab-parallel-web; to call Perplexity directly with a chosen Sonar model prefer alterlab-perplexity.
