Explore the academic literature as a visual graph of related papers
Each graph places the seed paper among its most closely related works, clustered by how often papers are cited together or share references.
Separate perspectives show what a paper builds on and what later work builds on it, which is ideal for tracing a research lineage.
Start from a paper title, DOI, URL or proceedings link, so you can enter the graph from whatever you already have at hand.
A ranked list view lets you browse related publications by relevance when you need specifics rather than an overview.
AI research assistant for evidence-based literature review and synthesis
