# Recipe: Academic Literature Review
Combine academic and patent searches to map what a field has published against
what it has protected.
Prefer `academic` (Semantic Scholar + arXiv) for CS/ML papers and preprints;
prefer `npl` (OpenAlex) for broad cross-disciplinary journal coverage and
open-access filtering.
## Steps
### Step 1: Academic Search
```bash
flowleap --json academic search "<research topic>" --limit 20
flowleap --json academic search "<research topic>" --source arxiv --from-year 2020
```
### Step 2: Widen to OpenAlex NPL
```bash
flowleap --json npl "<research topic>" --from-year 2020 --limit 10
```
### Step 3: Patent Search for the Same Topic
```bash
flowleap patent build-query "<research topic>" --allow-external-processing
flowleap --json patent search --query "<CQL from build-query>" --limit 20
```
### Step 4: Synthesize the Gap
Align the academic themes against the patent CPC and assignee clusters. Flag
topics heavily published but lightly patented (open R&D space) and topics
heavily patented but lightly published (crowded IP). Done when each major theme
is classified on the published-versus-protected axis.
