Search and read papers
Run Paper Search CLI through the shell. If paper-search is unavailable, follow setup.
Find papers
paper-search search 'object detection' -s fast -n 5
paper-search search 'object detection' -s arxiv,crossref -n 5
paper-search sources
Search returns JSON. Check errors for partial failures and retain source identifiers and URLs. Try alternate terms and multiple sources before concluding that no papers exist. Discover source names with paper-search sources; use explicit -s ieee, -s scopus, or -s wos only with configured credentials.
Look up, download, and read
paper-search tool get_crossref_paper_by_doi 10.1038/nature12373
paper-search download arxiv 1706.03762 -o ./downloads
paper-search read arxiv 1706.03762 -o ./downloads
paper-search tool get_citing_papers 10.1038/nature12373
paper-search tool get_referenced_papers 10.1038/nature12373
Citation commands accept a DOI or OpenAlex work ID, not a title. Check pagination and truncation metadata before treating a citation list as complete. Use paper-search tool --help and paper-search tool <operation> --help to discover other operations and their arguments.
Verify author names, venue, and year against the published paper or official record. For numerical claims, inspect the PDF's actual table or figure; extracted text can lose layout. Do not treat a search snippet as evidence for a result.
