Inciteful

Find relevant academic literature using citations

About Inciteful

Inciteful helps researchers discover academic literature through citations rather than keywords alone. Starting from a paper or a BibTeX file, it builds a citation network around your sources, applies link-prediction and similarity analysis to surface relevant and recent work, and lets you iteratively expand the graph. Findings can be exported to Zotero, Mendeley, or other reference managers, using a database covering hundreds of millions of papers.
