Visual graphs of related academic papers for literature exploration
Updated
Connected Papers is a tool for discovering and exploring academic papers as a visual graph of related work. You start from a paper and see a map of connected papers to find prior and derivative work.
You enter a paper, and Connected Papers generates a graph that places related papers by similarity so clusters of connected work are visible. Every plan includes all features, and paid plans only remove the monthly graph limit.
Researchers, students and analysts exploring a field use it. Academic users, non-profits and personal users take the Academic plan, while commercial users take Business.
Free includes 5 graphs a month. Academic is $6 a month ($72 billed annually) and Business is $20 a month ($240 billed annually), both with unlimited graphs.
Alternatives include Litmaps for citation maps, Semantic Scholar for paper search, Iris.ai for research reading, Humata for chatting with documents, and ChatPDF for PDF questions.
