Connected Papers
NewVisual tool for exploring academic paper citation networks to discover related research.
About Connected Papers
Connected Papers is a unique visual research tool that builds interactive citation network graphs from a single seed paper, enabling researchers to visually navigate the academic landscape surrounding any topic. By mapping co-citation and bibliographic coupling relationships, it surfaces highly relevant papers that may not appear in keyword searches, including foundational prior works and emerging parallel research threads. Scientists, graduate students, and researchers use Connected Papers to rapidly orient themselves in unfamiliar fields, identify the most influential papers in a domain, and discover research they would otherwise miss.
Pros
- Visual graph reveals connections that keyword search alone cannot surface
- Identifies foundational papers and emerging parallel research simultaneously
- Extremely fast for orienting in new research domains
Cons
- Free tier limits number of graphs that can be generated per month
- Graph depth limited to papers indexed in Semantic Scholar database
