Paper Search

open-gitagent/opengap

Pulls academic papers from Google Scholar through the Serper API with year filtering and citation counts. You get titles, authors, snippets, and direct links formatted in markdown. Useful when you need to ground an argument in actual research or track down seminal papers on a topic. The results include citation counts, which helps you quickly spot influential work versus newer publications. Counts against the 8-call-per-task limit, so make your queries specific. Works best with domain terminology rather than casual language, and you can narrow by publication year if you're researching something that moves fast.

Paper Search

Search for academic papers and scholarly articles via Google Scholar using the Serper API.

When to Use

  • Finding peer-reviewed research on a topic
  • Locating seminal papers and their citation counts
  • Searching for systematic reviews and meta-analyses
  • Grounding claims in academic literature

How to Use

  1. Formulate an academic-style search query
  2. Optionally specify year filters to narrow results by publication date
  3. Call paper_search with the query
  4. Review results for relevance, citation count, and recency

Result Format

Results are returned in markdown format:

**Title of Paper**
Authors: Author A, Author B
Year: 2024 | Citations: 142
Snippet: Brief excerpt from the paper abstract or body...
URL: https://scholar.google.com/...

Constraints

  • Results sourced from Google Scholar via Serper API
  • Supports year filtering (e.g., papers from 2020-2025)
  • Snippet may be from abstract or body text
  • Each call counts toward the researcher's 8-call limit per task
