Overview
Litmaps is a literature-discovery and mapping tool that helps researchers find related publications and visualize connections among papers. A user starts with a paper or topic, explores citation relationships, and monitors the field for new work.
The product is designed for researchers conducting structured literature reviews. Coverage depends on the indexed corpus and chosen seed papers, so a map should be complemented with additional search methods.
