About Inciteful
Inciteful explores academic literature through citations. Starting from one or more papers, it builds a citation graph and uses graph analysis to surface the most relevant related work, which helps when building a literature review or checking what you might have missed.
A second tool connects two papers, showing how the literature links them. The project is committed to open access and runs entirely in the browser, making it a useful companion to a regular paper search engine.
