## ELIS: Introduction to the Multi-Agent AI Platform for Scientific Research and Engineering

The ELIS multi-agent AI platform aims to address the time-consuming and labor-intensive pain points of Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) in academic research and engineering practice. It provides a one-stop solution for data collection, deduplication, screening, validation, and auditing through a unified CLI tool and reproducible pipelines, supporting reproducible research and engineering workflows.

## Background and Evolution of the ELIS Platform

In academic research and engineering practice, SLR requires collecting literature from multiple databases, merging and deduplicating, screening and validating, etc., which is a tedious process. ELIS initially started as a proxy repository focused on SLR, then evolved into a multi-agent platform supporting reproducible research and engineering workflows. The project package namespace and CLI still retain the name `elis`, and the current active branch is `release/2.0`; version 2.0.0 marks its entry into a mature and unified phase.

## Core Architecture and Design Principles of ELIS

The core design of ELIS revolves around four principles: 1. Unified CLI interface integrating full-process operations; 2. Reproducible pipelines: outputs of each run cycle are stored in `runs/<run_id>/`, including intermediate products and manifests; 3. Staged deterministic outputs: products of each stage (harvest→merge→dedup→screen→validate) are transmitted in JSON format; 4. Audit and traceability: run manifests must comply with predefined JSON Schema to ensure verifiable steps.

## Main Functional Modules and Intelligent Agent Workflows of ELIS

The CLI covers full-process commands: data collection supports OpenAlex, Crossref, Scopus, etc. (Web of Science and others are planned to be added); merging multi-source data; deduplication to identify duplicate literature; screening based on inclusion/exclusion criteria; validating data formats; exporting results. It also provides agentic sidecar workflows, such as `elis agentic asta discover` and `enrich`, to assist in literature discovery and metadata enrichment.

## Project Governance and Technical Deployment Guide for ELIS

The project has a comprehensive documentation system (e.g., RELEASE_PLAN_v2.0.md) to ensure sustainability. Technically, it is developed in Python, and deployment recommends using a virtual environment: create a venv → activate it → install dependencies, and view command help via `elis --help`.

## Application Scenarios and Future Outlook of ELIS

Applicable scenarios: standardized SLR processes, bibliometric analysis, research reproducibility, multi-source data integration. Summary: ELIS combines multi-agent AI with literature review workflows to improve efficiency and standardization. Outlook: More database adapters will be added, AI agent capabilities will be enhanced, and it will become an important infrastructure for academic research.
