Use article versions and custom articles in Litmaps to keep your work accurate and up-to-date. You can access different versions of the same paper in Litmaps, or create custom "versions" (i.e. custom articles).
Create custom articles for:
Poster presentations
In-progress work
Publications not in the Litmaps Database
💡 Did you know? You can also edit existing articles in Litmaps. Here's how.
What are article versions?
A single research paper or scientific article often has multiple versions. These correspond to the same paper at different points in time.
Articles are often released in several versions at these times:
pre-print before release
formal publication
ongoing revisions
In Litmaps, the default article you see is the most recent. However, you can access the different versions by viewing the paper's details.
How to see different article versions in Litmaps?
To see other versions of the same paper:
Click on the paper's title to see its details
Click the paper icon at the top right
Here, you'll see any other article versions, as well as an option to create a new custom version.
How to create a custom article
Click on the "Add" button on a Litmap
Choose the "Custom" tab
Click "New Custom Article"
Fill out the article's fields, then click Create Custom Article
Limits of Custom Articles
Custom articles behave in almost exactly the same way as normal articles within Litmaps. The only difference is that Custom Articles won't contribute to how Litmaps calculates paper recommendations.
