**Always verify citations** with verify_citations.py before finalizing.
### Prioritizing High-Impact Papers (CRITICAL)
**Always prioritize influential, highly-cited papers from reputable authors and top venues.** Quality matters more than quantity in literature reviews.
#### Citation Count Thresholds
Use citation counts to identify the most impactful papers:
| Paper Age | Citation Threshold | Classification |
|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| 0-3 years | 20+ citations | Noteworthy |
| 0-3 years | 100+ citations | Highly Influential |
| 3-7 years | 100+ citations | Significant |
| 3-7 years | 500+ citations | Landmark Paper |
| 7+ years | 500+ citations | Seminal Work |
| 7+ years | 1000+ citations | Foundational |
#### Journal and Venue Tiers
Prioritize papers from higher-tier venues:
- **Tier 1 (Always Prefer):** Nature, Science, Cell, NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, PNAS, Nature Medicine, Nature Biotechnology
- **Tier 2 (Strong Preference):** High-impact specialized journals (IF>10), top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML for ML/AI)
- **Tier 3 (Include When Relevant):** Respected specialized journals (IF 5-10)
- **Tier 4 (Use Sparingly):** Lower-impact peer-reviewed venues
#### Author Reputation Assessment
Prefer papers from:
- **Senior researchers** with high h-index (>40 in established fields)
- **Leading research groups** at recognized institutions (Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Oxford, etc.)
- **Authors with multiple Tier-1 publications** in the relevant field
- **Researchers with recognized expertise** (awards, editorial positions, society fellows)
#### Identifying Seminal Papers
For any topic, identify foundational work by:
1. **High citation count** (typically 500+ for papers 5+ years old)
2. **Frequently cited by other included studies** (appears in many reference lists)
3. **Published in Tier-1 venues** (Nature, Science, Cell family)
4. **Written by field pioneers** (often cited as establishing concepts)

2. **Include preprint servers**: Captures latest unpublished findings
3. **Document everything**: Search strings, dates, result counts for reproducibility
4. **Test and refine**: Run pilot searches, review results, adjust search terms
5. **Sort by citations**: When available, sort search results by citation count to surface influential work first
### Screening and Selection
1. **Use multiple databases** (minimum 3): Ensures comprehensive coverage
2. **Include preprint servers**: Captures latest unpublished findings
3. **Document everything**: Search strings, dates, result counts for reproducibility
4. **Test and refine**: Run pilot searches, review results, adjust search terms
### Screening and Selection
1. **Use clear criteria**: Document inclusion/exclusion criteria before screening

#### Citation Metrics in Database Searches
Use citation counts to identify influential work:
| Paper Age | Citations | Classification |
|-----------|-----------|----------------|
| 0-3 years | 20+ | Noteworthy |
| 0-3 years | 100+ | Highly Influential |
| 3-7 years | 100+ | Significant |

**Database-Specific Citation Features:**
- **Google Scholar:** Sort by citation count, use "Cited by" feature
- **Semantic Scholar:** "Highly Influential Citations" metric, citation velocity
- **OpenAlex:** Citation counts, citation context analysis
- **PubMed:** Use "Cited by" in PMC, check citation counts via Google Scholar
#### Filtering by Journal Quality
Prioritize papers from higher-tier venues:
**Tier 1 (Always Prefer):**
- Nature, Science, Cell, NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, PNAS
- Nature Medicine, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Methods
- Search tip: `source:Nature` or `journal:Nature` in Google Scholar
**Tier 2 (High Priority):**
- High-impact specialized journals (Impact Factor >10)
- Top conferences: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ACL
**Tier 3 (Include When Relevant):**
- Respected field-specific journals (IF 5-10)
**PubMed Journal Filtering:**
```
"Nature"[Journal] OR "Science"[Journal] OR "Cell"[Journal]
```
**Google Scholar Journal Filtering:**
```
source:Nature source:Science source:Cell
```
#### Leveraging "Cited by" Features
**Finding Influential Work:**
1. Start with a known key paper
2. Click "Cited by" to find papers that cite it
3. Sort citing papers by their citation count
4. Highly-cited citing papers indicate important follow-up work
**Identifying Seminal Papers:**
1. Search your topic broadly
2. Note which papers appear repeatedly in reference lists
3. Papers cited by many of your results are likely seminal
4. Check citation counts to confirm influence
**Semantic Scholar Features:**
- "Highly Influential Citations" shows citations that significantly built on the paper
- "Citation Velocity" shows recent citation growth
- Paper recommendations based on citation networks
