AI-driven survey generation has advanced rapidly, yet related work generation (RWG) remains relatively underexplored. Unlike surveys that provide broad literature overviews, RWG synthesizes prior studies for a single focal paper, requiring contextual fit, cross-paper comparison, and accurate attribution. To address this gap, we propose MA-RWG, a fully automated multi-agent framework that generates polished related work sections from only a title and abstract. MA-RWG first retrieves high-quality candidate papers through semantic retrieval, optionally enhanced with a diversity-aware term. It then coordinates four specialized agents for summarization, organization, integration, and fact checking, enabling DAG-based taxonomy construction, feedback-guided refinement, and dual-model verification. For evaluation, we introduce a dedicated benchmark for paper-specific related work generation, covering generation quality, citation quality, and claim-level semantic similarity. Experimental results show that MA-RWG outperforms RAG-based baselines and survey-oriented agentic methods on the RWG task. Further ablation and cross-domain experiments demonstrate the soundness and robustness of the proposed framework.
