Example Queries

How It Works

1. Describe what you're looking for (topic, author, paper ID, or category)
2. Research Paper Assistant queries the arXiv API and Semantic Scholar API
3. Returns formatted results with titles, authors, dates, abstracts, citation counts, and link

External services used: export.arxiv.org (arXiv REST API), api.semanticscholar.org (Semantic Scholar API) — both free, no API keys required.

Requirements

• A modern web browser
• Internet connection (to reach arXiv and Semantic Scholar APIs)
