keyword
: The keyword to search for in the articles.-n
,--num_papers
: The number of papers to retrieve (default: 10).-o

- Authors: The authors of the paper.
- Publication Name: The name of the publication where the paper was published.
- Publication Date: The date when the paper was published.
- DOI: The DOI of the paper.
- Summary: A summary of the paper generated by the GPT-3 model.
- Hypotheses: Hypotheses in the paper as interpreted by the GPT-3 model.
- Methods: Methods used in the paper as interpreted by the GPT-3 model.
