Search for academic papers and get details including title, authors, citation count, DOI, abstract, and open access links.

Steps:

Find the scripts directory: find ~/.claude -name "search.sh" -path "*/paper-search/*" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1
- This finds the script whether installed via plugin or manual setup
- The paper.sh script is in the same directory
To search for papers by keyword:
```
<scripts-dir>/search.sh "your search query" [limit] [sort] [page]
```
- limit: number of results per page (default: 10, max: 200)
- sort: relevance (default), cites, or date
- page: page number for pagination (default: 1)
To look up a specific paper by DOI or OpenAlex ID:
```
<scripts-dir>/paper.sh <DOI_URL or OpenAlex_ID>
```
- Accepts full DOI URLs like https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci8020020
- Or OpenAlex IDs like W2789811475
- Returns full details: authors, abstract, concepts, open access PDF link, related works

Tips:

Use relevance sort (default) for topical searches. Use cites when you want landmark papers.
Be specific with queries — "bilingual cognitive advantages executive function" beats "bilingualism brain".
Use paper.sh to get the full abstract when search results show "Abstract: N/A".
The related_works IDs from paper.sh can be fed back into paper.sh to explore the citation graph.
When the user asks for scientific backing: search broadly first, pick the most relevant/cited papers, then use paper.sh for full details and cite as (Author, Year, Journal).
