# paper-search
Search OpenAlex + arXiv, fuse compact query variants, then rank by relevance and **impact
relative to the paper's own field and age**. No API key or auth.
```bash
python3 scripts/paper_search.py "agent runtime" -q "LLM agent infrastructure"
python3 scripts/paper_search.py "distributed storage" --institution Alibaba
python3 scripts/paper_search.py "crash consistency" --venue FAST
python3 scripts/paper_search.py "agent memory" --fresh 60 --category cs.AI
python3 scripts/paper_search.py --after arXiv:2307.03172 --about "position bias"
python3 scripts/paper_search.py --selftest
```
Repeat `-q` for alternate terminology; papers matching several variants rank higher within
their quality bucket. `--institution` resolves a lab/company and includes its descendants;
`--institution-type company` searches industry broadly. Venue aliases include FAST, OSDI,
SOSP, NSDI, MLSys, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, VLDB, and SIGMOD. `--after` takes `arXiv:ID`,
`DOI:x`, or an OpenAlex `Wxxx`. Feed a useful displayed topic back through `--topic`.
Use `--json` for machine output and `--help` for all flags.
## Reading the output
Papers are bucketed, best first. The buckets are the point — **recency and quality are
independent axes**, and collapsing them into one score hides exactly the tradeoff that
matters in a fast-moving field.
| Bucket | Means |
|---|---|
| `LANDMARK` | cited fast *and* far above its field — read this first |
| `STRONG` | peer-reviewed, comfortably above field average |
