Connected Papers

Connected Papers: A Visual Tool for Academic Research Discovery

Connected Papers is a visual discovery tool designed to help applied researchers and scientists find academic papers relevant to their field of work. By leveraging knowledge maps, it reveals relationships between research papers, making it easier to explore related topics and uncover new studies you may not have found otherwise.

How It Works

Users can search by subject, author, or title to locate a paper of interest. Once a paper is selected, the tool generates an interactive graph that visualizes connections to other papers based on similarity, citations, and co-citation patterns. This allows researchers to quickly identify clusters of related work and trace the evolution of ideas in a field.

Key Features

• Search by subject, author, or title
• Visual knowledge maps that illustrate relationships between academic papers
• Discovery of relevant papers that might be missed through traditional search methods
• Ability to save and organize papers into collections for easy access
• Export references in PDF or BibTeX format
• Share paper collections with collaborators or students

Who It’s For

Connected Papers is particularly useful for researchers conducting literature reviews, exploring new research areas, or trying to stay current in fast-moving fields. It supports applied research and scientific discovery by reducing the time spent manually sifting through databases.

Limitations

The tool is not a substitute for comprehensive database searches (e.g., PubMed, IEEE Xplore, or Google Scholar) when exhaustive coverage is required. It works best as a complementary tool for exploration and discovery rather than systematic review. Users seeking full-text access to papers will still need to rely on institutional subscriptions or open-access repositories.

Access and Availability

The platform is free to use, but requires creating an account to access full features. An account enables saving collections, exporting references, and sharing with others.
