Latest Paper Search

Latest Paper Search

Search for papers newly published or newly indexed today, this week, or since a given year, then produce a lightweight report. The skill is self-contained and agent-agnostic: it can be installed under Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, project-local skill folders, or run directly from its Python scripts.

Workflow

1. Choose the time window:

• today: search the past 2 days to buffer indexing lag.
• week: search the past 10 days to buffer indexing lag.
• --since-year YEAR: search from January 1 of that year through today.

1. Route sources:

• Use OpenAlex only when OPENALEX_API_KEY is set.
• Use arXiv for AI, computer vision, SAR, image processing, foundation model, deep learning, and preprint-heavy topics.
• Use Crossref for DOI and publisher metadata discovery.
• Use Semantic Scholar enrichment only when SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY is set.
• Use SerpAPI Google Scholar only when SERPAPI_API_KEY is set; treat it as a supplemental discovery source.

1. Run the latest search script from the user's working directory:

python /scripts/latest_search.py "" --window week

Useful options:

python /scripts/latest_search.py "" --window today --limit 30
python /scripts/latest_search.py "" --sources openalex,arxiv,serpapi
python /scripts/latest_search.py "" --sources serpapi --since-year 2026
python /scripts/latest_search.py "" --language zh --output-dir 

1. Report the generated report.md path and summarize the top findings briefly.

Output

Each run writes to the current working directory unless --output-dir is provided:

paper-latest-results/__/
  report.md
  papers.csv
  papers.json
  kg.json
  run_log.json
  raw/

The report must stay lightweight:

• Topic, time window, and sources used
• Raw hit count and deduplicated paper count
• Chinese or English papers only; filter out papers whose titles are dominated by other writing systems
• Top 3-5 papers worth reading with short reasons
• Full paper list with title, authors, keywords, abstract, OA status, PDF/download link, DOI/page link, and source trace

Deduplication

Use this skill's scripts/deduplicate_latest.py for deduplication and field merging. Do not replace it with title-only merging.

Read references/deduplication.md before changing dedup behavior.
