What you get per paper

Title, abstract, year and date, type (article, review, preprint...), DOI and PubMed ID, venue and publisher, citation count and citation percentile, open-access status and PDF link, authors with institutions, countries and ORCID, primary topic, field and domain, keywords, funders, number of references and retraction flag.

Use cases

Literature reviews: the most relevant or most cited papers on a topic, with abstracts.
AI research agents: grounded citations with DOIs and open PDFs instead of hallucinated references.
Find experts: authors and institutions publishing on a topic.
Track a field: newest preprints on a topic with a scheduled run.
Enrich a reference list: pass DOIs and get full metadata.

Input

Field	What it does
`searchQueries`	Topics, e.g. `CRISPR off-target effects`.
`dois`	Specific papers to look up.
`maxResultsPerQuery`	Default 25, up to 2,000.
`sortBy`	`relevance` (default), `citations` or `newest`.
`yearFrom` / `yearTo`	Publication year range.
`minCitations`	Skip papers cited fewer times.
`openAccessOnly`	Only free-to-read papers.
`types`	`article`, `review`, `preprint`, `book-chapter`, `dataset`...
`excludeRetracted`	Default on.

Tip: sorting by citations without a year filter surfaces famous but loosely related papers; combine it with yearFrom for "most cited recent work on X".
