How this service works
Scholarly article search from Crossref - DOI, title, authors, year, journal, publisher and citation count for any paper title or topic query
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the interpreted query string, the data source identifier, total number of matching records, the number of items returned, and an array of paper objects each with DOI, title, author list, publication year, journal name, publisher, and citation count.
Example use cases
Verify paper citation before citing
“I want to cite the paper 'Attention Is All You Need' — can you look it up and confirm the authors, publication year, journal, and DOI so I get the reference right?”
Literature review on a research topic
“I'm writing a literature review on CRISPR gene editing — can you search for the top 10 most relevant scholarly articles on that topic and give me their titles, authors, years, and DOIs?”
Find papers by a specific author
“Can you search for academic papers by Geoffrey Hinton and show me the top 5 results with their titles, publication years, journals, and citation counts?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/research/crossref?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured bibliographic metadata (DOI, authors, year, journal, publisher, citation count) for academic or peer-reviewed papers. It is ideal for literature reviews, citation verification, and academic research workflows. Prefer it over general web search when you need clean, structured scholarly metadata with DOIs rather than scraped web results.
Side effects
- No results found for an obscure or misspelled query — returns empty works array
- Crossref upstream timeout or rate limit — may result in a 5xx error
- Missing optional fields (citation count, journal) for some papers if Crossref lacks the data
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–25) — may default or return an error
- Query too vague returns unrelated papers with high total_matches but low relevance
