Tools of Papers by Ouroboros Apps
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`find_related_papers`List papers that cite a work (relation cited_by) or papers that work cites (relation references). Every row is an API hit. An empty list means the API returned none, not that none exist.	List papers that cite a work (relation cited_by) or papers that work cites (relation references). Every row is an API hit.

`format_citation`Format a real paper in APA, MLA, Chicago author-date, or BibTeX using metadata fetched for the identifier. Titles are kept as the source provided them. Author particles may need a human check because display names are split mechanically. If the paper cannot be resolved, do not hand-write a citation.
