Academic

The Academic category lets an agent do literature work: search and rank papers on a topic, open a paper’s content and ask questions of its PDF, follow citations, profile a researcher or an institution, browse a venue’s output, and look up patents — from two providers.

Papers

arXiv and AMiner paper search and details.

Researchers and institutions

Scholars, institutions, venues and patents.

Providers

Provider	Coverage
AMiner	Papers: search by title or by title / keyword / abstract / author / institution / venue, paper detail, citation list, batch paper info, recommendations by topic or scholar. Scholars: search, detail, research profile (interests, fields, structured career and education), papers, patents, projects, statistics (paper count, citations, h-index, g-index). Organizations: search, name disambiguation, detail, papers, patents, scholars. Venues: search, detail, papers by year. Patents: search, detail, brief info
alphaxiv	`discover_papers` ranks candidate papers for a research topic; `get_paper_content` and `answer_pdf_queries` return a paper’s content or the pages relevant to a question (by id, URL or title); `find_researchers`, `resolve_researchers`, `get_researcher` and `get_researcher_papers` profile researchers; `read_files_from_github_repository` reads a paper’s code repository
alphaxiv-api	alphaXiv’s public REST API, by arXiv id: paper metadata with authors, abstract, first submission date and links (`getPaperMetadata`); a compact record with the citation count alphaXiv tracks (`getPaper`); the resolved reference list with each cited paper’s arXiv id and DOI where known (`getPaperReferences`)

AMiner tools return gateway-wrapped JSON with the payload under data; most detail tools take an AMiner id, so start from a search_* tool. AMiner summaries are in Chinese; find_tools(q=...) matches them in either language. The per-call cost is shown by describe_tool.

Building with code? Developers and enterprise integrations can call this category through Scenario Methods: fixed REST contracts with a stable schema, a fixed price and automatic provider failover. The methods are listed by platform in the API Reference sidebar.

Google Scholar results are also reachable through Serper/searchScholar in the Search category, and patents through Serper/searchPatents.
