About Connected Papers
Connected Papers is an AI-powered tool that creates visual graphs of academic literature. Instead of a flat reference list, it shows the structure of a research field by mapping related papers based on co-citation and bibliographic coupling. Users input a paper and instantly see a graph connecting similar works, with nodes representing papers and edges indicating relationships. The tool highlights seminal works and provides a historical overview of the field. It is ideal for researchers, students, and professionals conducting literature reviews, as it helps quickly identify key papers and understand the context of a topic. The graph can be exported as an image or shared with colleagues, enabling efficient exploration of new research areas.
