Overview

dblp is the focused bibliography channel for computer science papers, conference proceedings, and journal articles. It is useful when the query is clearly CS-oriented and benefits from venue, author, and year metadata even when abstracts are unavailable.

When To Choose It

• Choose it for English CS paper discovery, author lookup, venue lookup, and bibliography-style queries.
• Choose it when the planner wants broader CS venue coverage than a single preprint index.
• Avoid it for social discussion, multimedia content, or breaking news.

How To Search

• api_search queries the DBLP publication API and normalizes hits into evidence with external links when available.
• Result snippets are synthesized from authors, venue, year, and record type because DBLP does not provide abstracts.

Known Quirks

• Titles may end with a trailing period in the raw API payload and should be normalized.
• Some hits only expose a DBLP record page while others provide an external DOI landing page.
• Coverage is strongest for computer science and adjacent technical literature, not general scholarly search.

Quality Bar

• Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
• No crash on empty or malformed API response.
• Source channel field matches the channel name.
