Literature review made easy

Your personal literature navigator

Litmaps changes the way researchers discover articles and conduct research. Traditional methods using keyword search and sifting through references simply don't scale to the millions of papers out there.

Instead, Litmaps uses the citation network to discover literature that's easily overlooked with other search methods. This, combined with our ever-evolving algorithms and automated alert system, means never missing a relevant paper again.

Litmaps is used by a range of researchers, from undergraduate students tackling their first literature review to seasoned researchers reviewing the state of their field.

The power behind the recommendations

Litmaps finds the articles that are most relevant to your search criteria. It does this by analysing the citation patterns of the articles you select as your input. Litmaps traverses millions of papers for you in seconds and selects the most connected articles for you to review.

Litmaps is powered by the world’s only real-time queryable scientific literature graph. By using the citation patterns of articles and not keywords alone, Litmaps is less likely to miss key articles in your field that may use alternative keywords.
