Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
find_related_researchA

Find publications, datasets, and software that cite a given DOI.

This tool searches ScholExplorer's comprehensive citation index to discover research outputs that cite the specified DOI. ScholExplorer aggregates citation links from major scholarly data sources including OpenCitations, Crossref, and DataCite, covering publications, datasets, and software.

Use this tool when you want to:

  • Find what publications cite a specific dataset

  • Discover research that builds upon a particular paper

  • Explore the impact and usage of a research output

  • Map the citation network around a DOI

get_metadataA

Get comprehensive metadata for a research product from OpenAIRE Research Graph.

This tool retrieves detailed metadata from the OpenAIRE Research Graph, which aggregates information from thousands of repositories worldwide. The Graph provides enriched metadata including abstracts, full author information with institutional affiliations, citation metrics, access rights, and funding details.

IMPORTANT: This tool requires an OpenAIRE dedup ID, not a DOI.

Workflow to get metadata:

  1. First use find_related_research() to find citations for a DOI

  2. Extract the OpenAIRE ID from the results (look for IDScheme: 'openaireIdentifier')

  3. Use this tool with that OpenAIRE ID to get full metadata

Use this tool when you want to:

  • Get the full abstract and description of a research output

  • See complete author information with affiliations and ORCID IDs

  • Check access rights and find open access versions

  • View citation metrics and impact indicators

  • Discover funding information and project connections
