Connected Papers
Find and explore academic papers relevant to your field

Connected Papers is a visual tool that helps researchers and scientists discover academic papers related to their work. It generates interactive graph visualizations where nodes represent papers and edges indicate similarity, allowing users to explore the academic literature landscape around a topic. The tool is designed to surface both prior and derivative works that might not appear in a standard citation search.
Users input a seed paper and the tool builds a visual graph of related papers based on similarity, enabling exploration of the surrounding literature.
