AI4Scholar Paper Detail And Batch Verification

Use this skill when a paper has already been identified and the task is to verify its metadata, abstract, identifiers, authors, venue, year, open-access status, or batch details.

Core Rules

• Do not invent missing DOI, issue, volume, pages, PMID, or arXiv ID.
• Preserve author names and title spelling exactly as returned by verified sources.
• If AI4Scholar and another source disagree, report the conflict instead of silently choosing one.
• For final manuscripts, cross-check important references with citation-management, publisher pages, PubMed, Crossref, OpenAlex, or Zotero where available.

Tools From The Source Guide

Use the exact schemas exposed by AI4Scholar. Common detail tools include:

Single Paper Workflow

1. Identify the strongest input key in this order: DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, Semantic Scholar ID, exact title.
2. Call the relevant detail tool.
3. Extract:

• title,
• authors,
• year,
• venue,
• abstract,
• DOI/PMID/arXiv/S2 ID,
• citation count if available,
• open-access URL or PDF URL if available.

1. Compare against any metadata provided by the user.
2. Flag mismatches.

Batch Workflow

1. Normalize the input list into a table with one row per paper.
2. Deduplicate before lookup by DOI and title.
3. Run batch lookup where supported; otherwise process in small batches.
4. Mark each row:

• verified,
• metadata_conflict,
• not_found,
• needs_manual_check.

1. Export a clean reference matrix.

Verified metadata:

Conflicts:

Beginner Prompt

Use AI4Scholar to verify whether the following references are real.
Prefer DOI, PMID, or arXiv ID lookup; for items without IDs, use exact-title matching.
Return standardized metadata, conflicts, and items that require manual verification.

Failure Handling

• If a title match returns multiple papers, compare authors and year before selecting.
• If the paper is not found in PubMed, try Semantic Scholar; PubMed does not cover all fields.
• If a preprint and published article both exist, report both and ask which version should be cited.
