The new version of Litmaps lets you find papers and dive into the literature easier than ever before.

Released in April, 2024, this version of Litmaps has some key changes from the previous version, designed to make your search experience more streamlined and efficient. The key changes are:

  • All searches are done through a new Litmap (instead of Seed or Discover)

  • Save articles to Tags (instead of Collections)

Our goal with Litmaps 2024 is to get you all the same functionality and more with a streamlined, Litmap-centric approach.

What's changed in Litmaps 2024?

Although things look different in new Litmaps, you can still access all the same functionality, and more.

Older version

Litmaps 2024

Seed, Discover, and Maps are separate options

All three are accessible from a Litmap

See an article's Seed Map

Create a Litmap with one or more starting articles

Find more articles with Discover

Create a Litmap and use "Explore Mode" to find relevant articles

Study a library of articles using Maps

Create a Litmap and use "Design Mode" to organize and review it

What's changed for free users in Litmaps 2024?

The free version of Litmaps limits users to two Litmaps.

With the new Litmap-centric design of Litmaps 2024, free users may run into the Map limitation more often. In order to better serve our free Litmaps community, here's what we suggest:

  1. Find more papers on your topic by expanding your Litmap using the "More like this" option (here's how)

  2. Save articles you like to Tags, so you can keep track of them, even if you delete your Litmap

  3. Delete your Litmap and create a new one when you'd like to start a search from scratch

We value all members of the Litmaps community, whether free, paid, or institutional sign ups. If you have feedback for our new version of Litmaps, please get in touch with us.
