Meet Connected Papers

Connected Papers creates a visual graph of research similar to a starting paper. A researcher can inspect nearby articles, explore groups of related work, and build another graph from a result that looks useful. This provides a route into a field alongside ordinary keyword searching.

Prior Works highlights important earlier research, while Derivative Works points toward later material such as reviews and work developing the area. The service draws on Semantic Scholar's paper database across disciplines. Starting with a known article, a student can investigate its surrounding literature and examine possible additions to a bibliography before reading the relevant papers in full.
