Connected Papers is a web-based visual tool that allows users to visually explore academic literature by generating interactive graphs showing related and similar papers to the origin paper.

The tool is connected to the Semantic Scholar Paper Corpus (licensed under ODC-BY), which compiles hundreds of millions of papers across numerous scientific fields. To create each graph, the tool analyzes approximately 50,000 related papers for each query to select the few dozen with the strongest conceptual connections to the origin paper.
