About Open Knowledge Maps
Open Knowledge Maps is a visual search engine for scientific knowledge that turns a research topic into an interactive knowledge map: it retrieves the 100 most relevant documents from sources such as PubMed and BASE and clusters them into topical areas, showing the main subfields and relevant papers at a glance. Users can explore areas, read abstracts and citations, and follow links to open-access versions. It is operated by a charitable non-profit organization based in Vienna on open-science principles, with open-source software.
