💡 Real-World Use Cases

Case Study 1: Graduate Student Literature Review

Sarah, a PhD student in Computer Science, needed to conduct a comprehensive literature review on transformer architectures:

# Step 1: Search for relevant papers
research search "transformer architecture" --source=arxiv --limit=50

# Step 2: Search related topics
research search "attention mechanism" --source=arxiv,scholar --limit=30

# Step 3: Organize references
research bib format --style=ACM --output=transformer_refs.bib

# Step 4: Generate outline
research outline SURVEY COMPUTER_SCIENCE --journal="ACM Computing Surveys"

Result: Sarah completed her literature review 60% faster and discovered 15 highly relevant papers she would have missed with traditional search methods.

Case Study 2: Research Team Collaboration

Dr. Martinez's research team was preparing a paper on medical image analysis:

# Generate project structure
research latex create ./medical-imaging --template=nature

# Analyze experimental results
research data analyze patient_data.csv --type=statistical --output=analysis.html

# Check paper quality
research check manuscript.tex --type=all

# Find target journals
research submit match "Medical Image Analysis" "Abstract..." --field=MEDICINE

Result: The team reduced their submission preparation time by 40% and received acceptance on their first submission.

Case Study 3: Data Science Research

Alex, a data scientist, was analyzing social media sentiment data:

# Generate analysis code
research experiment python ml --output=./sentiment_analysis

# Analyze the dataset
research data analyze social_media.csv --type=ml --algorithms=svm,random_forest

# Visualize results
research data visualize results.csv --type=heatmap --save=figures/

# Prepare IEEE paper
research latex create ./sentiment-paper --template=ieee_journal

Result: Alex generated a complete analysis pipeline and paper draft in 2 days instead of the usual 2 weeks.
