Connected Papers: A Visual Tool for Your Literature Search

Connected Papers is a visual exploration tool for researchers. Instead of traditional searches, it lets you enter a single relevant paper or search term. Connected Papers then analyzes the content of that paper/search term and generates a graph/map of similar research articles. This map helps you see the connections and trends within your field, making it easier to find important papers.

With Connected Papers, you can easily generate a research map (visual exploration), discover new research trends, filter results, and build a relevant reading list. It also provides you with a summary of articles, DOI, format, and a digital link to (Pubmed, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, ) for easy download.

Basic Steps to Use Connected Papers

Ø  Go to https://www.connectedpapers.com & sign up.

Ø  In the search bar, type your search term or enter the title / DOI of a paper relevant to your search.

Ø  Connected Papers will show you the results listed in the middle of the page. Each result usually includes the title of the article, author(s), journal bibliographic information, and abstract.

Ø  Click on the title that has the site link, and Connected Papers will create a map of related works that are connected to your search term /result.

Ø  Click on any of the names or years on the map, and it will show a summary of the article, other information about related articles, and their citations.

Ø  In the left panel, you will see a list of all the papers on the map. It will also give you the option to search for previous works.
