Evidence-grounded bilingual academic research plugin for DeepSeek Harness and On
Adds a bilingual, evidence-grounded academic research collaborator that requires no account and no licensed database connection. Its three read-only tools are research_search (Crossref and OpenAlex public metadata), research_fetch (read one allowlisted public HTTPS record or page) and research_source_status (public source coverage and limitations). The README stresses research-integrity rules that prohibit fabricated sources, data, quotations, experiments and peer-review claims, and it reports public metadata, abstracts and full-text links as different evidence levels — a link is never treated as proof the full paper was read. Suggested uses include literature discovery, evidence matrices, academic writing, citation checking and reviewer-response guidance.
Install
⚠️ Install command not yet confirmed — check the README on GitHub for the exact command.
Compatibility
Designed for profile-scoped installation in DeepSeek Harness; from a DSH checkout or an installed dsh command. The README notes the package also carries standard .codex-plugin/plugin.json metadata and an OnPeople .onpeople/industry.json companion, while the DSH runtime uses src/index.ts and cordis.patch.yml. It is not enabled in unrelated profiles.

FAQ
- How do I install dsh-academic-research?
- Until the package is published (it returned 404 on 2026-09-13), the README says to install a local checkout: dsh plugin --profile web add /absolute/path/to/dsh-academic-research, then restart the profile.
- Do I need a database subscription?
- No — the README says it works without an account or a licensed database connection, searching public Crossref and OpenAlex metadata and reading allowlisted public HTTPS pages.
- Can it invent citations?
- No. The README's research-integrity rules prohibit fabricated sources, data, quotations, experiments and peer-review claims, and research_source_status reports coverage limits while links are never treated as proof the full text was read.
