- The README advertises multi-source search and DOI validation features but does not disclose that user-supplied queries, DOIs, and arXiv IDs will be transmitted to third-party services such as arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, CrossRef, and PubMed. This can create an avoidable privacy and data-handling risk, especially when users search for sensitive or unpublished research topics and assume processing is local.
