Connected Papers
Connected Papers is a visual tool designed to assist researchers and applied scientists in discovering and exploring academic papers pertinent to their field of work. By inputting a "seed paper," users can generate a graph that displays related papers based on a similarity metric derived from co-citation and bibliographic coupling analyses. This approach allows for the identification of relevant literature, even when direct citations are absent. The resulting graph provides a visual overview of the research landscape, highlighting seminal works and potential areas for further exploration. Connected Papers aims to streamline the literature review process, making it more efficient and comprehensive for researchers.
