Usage

The package is a library for your Bibliography metadata managment needs. The intended use is applications which use Semantic Scholar data for generating bibliography management, visualizing citation graphs etc.

It can fetch citations and references from Semantic Scholar API https://www.semanticscholar.org/product/api and store in a local cache to avoid redundant requests to the service as the citation data fetches can be network intensive.
