Inciteful

Inciteful is a free, open-source tool designed to enhance academic research by leveraging citations to build a comprehensive network of scholarly literature. It features two main tools: Paper Discovery, which uses network analysis algorithms to identify key papers, prolific authors, and leading institutions in any field; and Literature Connector, which visualizes how two papers are connected through existing literature. The project is maintained as a personal open-source project committed to remaining free, with code available on GitHub.
