Use Litmaps to
How is Litmaps different from other tools?
Litmaps is different from other search databases and AI research tools. Litmaps is the only tool that simultaneously:
Radically accelerates literature review
Empowers you to conduct precise and comprehensive searches
Uses transparent & reliable algorithms and data
Fosters collaboration
What really sets Litmaps apart is how you search. Litmaps searches the citation network and provides results in a visual literature map (a Litmap).
What’s the citation network?
When a paper references another paper, it indicates a link between the content of the two papers: There must be something in common between them for the reference to have been made.
We can represent this link using a line. Here, paper A cites paper B:
Other papers may have also cited paper B:
Indeed, B will have cited other papers itself!
These citation links continue on and on, creating an enormous citation network. Litmaps help you use the citation network to:
Visualize how papers relate to one another
Discover relevant, new papers
Find unexpected connections between topics
How do I get started with Litmaps?
Get started with Litmaps by searching for papers or visualizing your reserach.
