I've been juggling Semantic Scholar, PubMed, and OpenAlex across tabs for months. Minicod's unified API lets me search, pull DOIs and OA links, and run chat-style queries in one place. The consistent JSON and quick notebook exports save me hours, and the MCP integration is surprisingly smooth.

Citation graphs that actually map my literature

Used for 1-3 months

What I liked

  • Hero Feature: Citation graph traversal to map scholarly relationships and trace citations.
  • Journal metadata provides quick, reliable publication details for source vetting.
  • Skills Marketplace bundles give reusable, ready-to-run research workflows.
  • OpenAI-compatible endpoint makes it easy to plug Minicod into my AI-assisted analysis.

What could be better

  • Pricing clarity for per-project use isn't obvious.
  • Graph results can feel noisy; Iโ€™d like better depth controls and filtering.
  • Some newly indexed journals take longer to refresh in metadata.

I set out to map how papers cite each other for a grant proposal, and the citation graph traversal delivered. I could follow relationships with confidence, spot related works I would have missed, and use the journal metadata to vet sources. The workflow bundles helped me assemble a starter protocol fast.
