Connected Papers

Connected Papers is a visual tool that maps academic literature by generating interactive graphs of related papers around a seed paper. Instead of a flat reference list, it shows a field's structure—highlighting prior works, derivative works, and seminal papers. Core capabilities include creating a dynamic graph of similar papers, providing a field overview to identify key research clusters, and enabling exploration of connections through an intuitive interface. This tool fits researchers, students, and academics who need to navigate scientific literature efficiently, discover relevant papers, and understand how ideas evolve across disciplines.
