PubMed Author Strategy Analysis
Fetches a researcher's PubMed record, classifies study types and author position, then charts the patterns and writes a strategy report.

What it does
- Pulls an author's publication list from PubMed into a CSV via NCBI E-utilities.
- Classifies study type (SR/MA, NHIS/claims, biobank, AI/ML, clinical trial, case report, etc.) and author position (first / last / middle) with keyword rules.
- Produces 7 PNG charts (yearly stacked, type pie, author position, journal heatmap, topic distribution, growth curve, strategy ROI) plus
analysis_report.md. - Optional trajectory-archetype classification (A1–A6 + composite) as an explainable, multi-label, confidence-scored heuristic with evidence PMIDs.
- Anything PubMed metadata cannot prove (citations, venue tier, h-index, corresponding-author role) is marked
[VERIFY]instead of guessed.
Who it's for
- Grad students and postdocs sizing up a lab or advisor's publication strategy.
- Researchers auditing their own publication portfolio with objective numbers.
- Clinical/public-health researchers hunting for feasible meta-analysis gaps.
- Anyone automating lightweight bibliometric reporting.
Example uses
- "Analyze the publication strategy of Kim DK" → CSV, 7 charts, and a strategy report.
- "Which meta-analysis topics are feasible with this professor?" → cross-references topic clusters and returns a prioritized MA proposal list.
- For common surnames, supply ORCID/initials/affiliation/year range, review candidate clusters, approve the corpus, then run the archetype classifier.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/author-strategy folder from the GitHub repo Aperivue/medsci-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/author-strategy/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r medsci-skills/skills/author-strategy ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Confirm Python 3.10+ is installed:
python --version - Install the dependencies:
pip install biopython pandas matplotlib seaborn pyyaml - Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git - Copy the skill into your Claude skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r medsci-skills/skills/author-strategy ~/.claude/skills/ - Restart Claude Code and ask: "use author-strategy to analyze author Kim DK".
- Provide your email when prompted — NCBI E-utilities requires it.
- Find results under
~/.local/cache/author-strategy/{AuthorName}/in thedata/andreport/folders.
