Litmaps

Litmaps is a literature review software designed to help researchers, students, and professionals discover, visualize, and manage academic papers more efficiently. It transforms the traditional literature review process by using citation networks and advanced search features to identify relevant articles and reveal connections between them. Users can start with a single seed article and let Litmaps build a visual map of related literature, making it easier to understand the historical context and evolution of a research topic. The tool is particularly beneficial for those looking to quickly identify key citations, spot research gaps, and stay updated on new publications in their field. It aims to streamline the entire research workflow, from initial paper discovery to organizing projects and collaborating with colleagues. Litmaps is used by over 350,000 researchers worldwide and offers an intuitive visual interface that can lower the barrier of entry for new researchers and those who find traditional database interfaces challenging.
