1.1 Workflow description

Title
Qwen-Max: journal paper generation from title/abstract
Workflow name
Qwen-Max: journal paper generation from title/abstract

Introduction

Generates complete scientific papers from title and abstract using AI. Designed for researchers, automating literature search, content generation, and citation formatting.

How It Works

Extracts input, searches academic databases (CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex), merges sources, processes citations, generates AI sections (Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion), compiles document.

Workflow Template

Webhook → Extract Data → Search (CrossRef + Semantic Scholar + OpenAlex) → Merge Sources → Process References → Prepare Context → AI Generate (Introduction + Literature Review + Methodology + Results + Discussion + Conclusion via OpenAI) → Merge Sections → Compile Document

Workflow Steps

  1. Input & Search: Webhook receives title/abstract; searches CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex; merges and processes references
  2. AI Generation: OpenAI generates six sections with in-text citations using retrieved references
  3. Assembly: Merges sections; compiles formatted document with reference list

Setup Instructions

  1. Trigger & APIs: Configure webhook URL; add OpenAI API key; customize prompts
  2. Databases: Set up CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex API access; configure search parameters

Prerequisites

OpenAI API, CrossRef API, Semantic Scholar API, OpenAlex API, webhook platform, n8n instance

Customization

Adjust reference limits, modify prompts for research fields, add citation styles (APA/IEEE), integrate databases (PubMed, arXiv), customize outputs (DOCX/LaTeX/PDF)

Benefits

Automates paper drafting, comprehensive literature integration, proper citations

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/10314/10314.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
