About Litmaps
Litmaps starts from one or more seed articles and builds a visual map of the papers that cite them or are cited by them, helping you discover relevant work you may have missed. Maps can be shared with colleagues, students or advisors, and monitoring sends updates when new papers appear on your topic.
It is used by researchers, students and professionals for literature reviews. Creating a map requires a larger screen than a phone, and paid plans are listed alongside a sign-up option.
