What is Connected Papers?
Connected Papers builds a visual graph of papers similar to a paper you enter, based on co-citation and bibliographic coupling. It helps researchers get an overview of a field and spot key prior and derivative works.
Papers that are closely related cluster together, node size reflects citations and color shows publication year. You can switch to prior works or derivative works views, and paid plans remove the monthly graph limit.
