get_content_statistics
ClaudeGet bioRxiv submission statistics over time. WHEN TO USE: - Analyze bioRxiv growth trends - Track submission patterns (new vs revised papers) - Generate platform statistics reports RETURNS (per month/year): new_papers, revised_papers, new_authors, cumulative_papers, cumulative_authors, period (YYYY-MM or YYYY) INTERVALS: 'monthly' (default) or 'yearly' NOTE: Returns all historical data from bioRxiv inception to present
get_preprint
ClaudeGet complete metadata for a specific preprint by DOI. WHEN TO USE: - You have a DOI and need full details - Need abstract, authors, PDF URL, funding info - Checking if preprint was published in a journal RETURNS: title, all authors, corresponding author + institution, full abstract, category, license, version, PDF URL, web URL, funding details, published DOI (if available) DOI FORMATS (all accepted): - '10.1101/2024.01.15.123456' - 'https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.01.15.123456' SERVERS: - 'biorxiv': For bioRxiv preprints (DOI contains biorxiv dates like 2024.01.15) - 'medrxiv': For medRxiv preprints IMPORTANT: Preprints are NOT peer-reviewed RELATED: search_preprints (find DOIs), search_published_articles (find journal version)
get_usage_statistics
ClaudeGet bioRxiv usage/engagement statistics over time. WHEN TO USE: - Analyze readership trends - Track engagement metrics (views, downloads) - Compare abstract vs full-text vs PDF engagement RETURNS (per month/year): abstract_views, full_text_views, pdf_downloads, cumulative_abstract, cumulative_full_text, cumulative_pdf, period (YYYY-MM or YYYY) INTERVALS: 'monthly' (default) or 'yearly' NOTE: Returns all historical data from bioRxiv inception to present
search_biorxiv_publications
Claudesearch_by_funder
ClaudeSearch for preprints funded by a specific organization using ROR ID. WHEN TO USE: - Track research output from specific funding bodies - Analyze funder-specific publication patterns - Monitor grant-funded research areas REQUIRES: funder_ror_id (9-character ROR ID) COMMON FUNDER ROR IDS: - '021nxhr62' - NIH (National Institutes of Health) - '01cwqze88' - NSF (National Science Foundation) - '02mhbdp94' - European Commission - '029chgv08' - Wellcome Trust - '05a28rw58' - HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) - '006wxqw41' - MRC (Medical Research Council UK) - '00f54p054' - BBSRC (UK) - '01s5ya894' - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Find more ROR IDs at: https://ror.org/search RETURNS: DOI, title, authors, abstract preview, category (same as search_preprints) IMPORTANT: Date range required. Earliest date is 2025-04-10 (funder metadata inception) SERVERS: 'biorxiv' or 'medrxiv'
search_preprints
ClaudeSearch bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints. Returns DOI, title, authors, abstract preview, category. WHEN TO USE: - Literature review and research discovery - Finding recent research in specific fields - Tracking new submissions by date or category SEARCH METHODS (use only ONE): - Date range: date_from + date_to (e.g., '2024-01-01' to '2024-06-30') - RECOMMENDED - Recent days: recent_days=30 (last 30 days) - Recent count: recent_count=50 (searches last ~90 days, returns up to 'limit' results) IMPORTANT: All searches use date ranges internally. recent_count searches a 90-day window. If no search method specified, defaults to last 60 days. SERVERS: - 'biorxiv': Biological sciences (default) - 'medrxiv': Medical/health sciences CATEGORIES (27 available): biochemistry, bioinformatics, cancer biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, neuroscience, and 17 more. Use get_categories tool for full list. LIMITATIONS: - NO keyword/text search - filter by category and date only - Results are NOT peer-reviewed preprints EXAMPLES: - Last 30 days of neuroscience: recent_days=30, category='neuroscience' - Cancer biology Q1 2024: date_from='2024-01-01', date_to='2024-03-31', category='cancer biology' PAGINATION: Use cursor for next page (cursor=100 for results 100-199) RELATED: get_preprint (full details by DOI), get_categories (list all categories)
search_published_articles
Claudesearch_published_preprints
ClaudeFind preprints that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. WHEN TO USE: - Track which preprints became journal articles - Find the peer-reviewed version of a preprint - Analyze preprint-to-publication patterns - Filter articles by whether they were published by a specific journal SEARCH METHODS (use only ONE): - Date range: date_from + date_to - Recent count: recent_count=50 - Recent days: recent_days=30 FILTERS: - include_details: True for full metadata (slower), False for summary (faster) - publisher: Filter by DOI prefix (e.g., '10.1038' for Nature) - see below COMMON PUBLISHER PREFIXES: - '10.1038' - Nature Publishing Group - '10.1126' - Science/AAAS - '10.1016' - Elsevier - '10.1371' - PLOS - '10.7554' - eLife - '10.1073' - PNAS EXAMPLE: Find recently published medRxiv papers: server='medrxiv', recent_days=30
