Start from a paper you know, and it lays out a similarity graph: nearby nodes are related work, and another click expands outward. Entering a new field, this builds a map faster than paging through keyword results and reveals branches search misses. Proximity is not the same as agreement, and method differences are invisible on the graph, so read abstracts; keep your own list of papers you will actually cite.
What it does
- A similarity graph centered on one paper
- Expand outward repeatedly to cover a field
- Nodes arranged by closeness for quick browsing
- Export formats for reference managers, as offered on the page
- Nodes link back to the paper page
Who it is for
- New to a field and unsure what else to read
- Finding work that came before and after a paper
- Needing a map for a proposal or review
- Discovering branches keyword search cannot find
How to get started
- Pick a seed paper you have actually read and found relevant
- Locate nearby nodes and read abstracts before expanding
- Move truly relevant papers into your own list; do not rely on the graph alone
