# Find Expert Sources

Whether you are writing a research report, preparing a presentation, or building credibility through expert quotes, finding the right sources is half the battle. You need experts who are both authoritative in their field and have publicly shared insights you can reference.

ToolRouter's search skill finds experts through their blog posts, interviews, conference talks, and published articles on the general web. The scholar_search skill adds academic authority by surfacing researchers who have published peer-reviewed papers on the topic. Combining both gives you a mix of practitioners and academics.

This is valuable for content creators seeking expert quotes, journalists identifying sources for articles, researchers building literature reviews, and marketing teams finding influencers to partner with. Finding the right expert early saves hours of work downstream.
