Serper Scholar

Queries Google Scholar for academic papers and returns structured metadata including citations, authors, publication venues, and years. Useful when you need to research technical literature, track down seminal papers in a field, or find recent work on specific topics. The skill handles up to 20 results per query and works best with English keywords and specific technical terms rather than broad searches. Shares the Serper API quota with web search at 2,500 calls per month on the free tier. One practical tip from the docs: prioritize high citation counts for foundational work and recent years for cutting edge research, and consider searching by author name once you identify key researchers in your area.
