crossref-database

separate

Access CrossRef metadata for scholarly works; use when you need to resolve a DOI or search CrossRef to retrieve bibliographic details, citation/reference counts, or funder information for research and citation management.

When to use

• You have a DOI and need authoritative bibliographic metadata (title, authors, venue, publication date).
• You need to search CrossRef by keywords (title/author/topic) to find candidate works and their DOIs.
• You want to retrieve reference counts and cited-by counts for quick impact/context checks.
• You need to verify or enrich citation records across publishers for citation management workflows.
• You want to identify funder information associated with a publication.

When not to use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
