Connected Papers is a visual research tool that generates interactive graphs showing how academic papers are related to one another based on citation patterns and semantic similarity. Researchers enter a seed paper and the tool builds a visual map of prior and derivative work, making it easier to discover relevant literature they might have missed. It is especially useful for understanding the intellectual field of a research topic at a glance.
