Can I search for specific authors using their names or ORCID?

Yes! Use the `search_author` tool to find profiles by name or affiliation, or use `get_author` if you already have a specific Scopus Author ID to retrieve their full metrics and H-index.

How do I get a breakdown of citations per year for a specific paper?

You can use the `get_citation_overview` tool. Provide the DOI or Scopus ID and an optional date range (e.g., 2018-2023) to see how the document's impact has evolved over time.

Can the AI help me evaluate the quality of a journal?

Absolutely. By using the `get_serial_title` tool, your agent can retrieve official metrics like CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) for any journal.
