// about Connected Papers
Connected Papers builds a visual graph of papers related to a seed paper, based on co-citation and bibliographic coupling — revealing the intellectual landscape around a topic without manually tracing references. You enter a paper and get an interactive map showing which prior works it builds on and which subsequent papers cite it. Researchers use it at the start of a literature review to quickly find the most influential work in an unfamiliar field.
