Seed Maps take a single paper, your Seed, and find the most relevant citations and references. You can instantly see the most
4 skills you need for every literature review:
• Backward search
• Citation chaining
• Skimming mastery
• Meta-review analysis

Starting a literature review can be intimidating - but it doesn't need to be.
Get started with a single paper using Seed Maps.
Find the most relevant papers for your literature review based on that one Seed.
Here's how:

will find some great references for you
Otherwise:
→ Try Litmaps
Tried using ChatGPT to help me with a literature review and it directed me to some great papers that were just what I was looking for except for the small problem that they don't seem to actually exist.

Spend less time searching and more time reading.
Once you've found a paper you like, make a Seed Map to immediately pinpoint the most relevant articles to read next.
It's built into arXiv - so you can do it on one click for arXived papers.
Find similar papers for any arXiv paper.
Just:
- Scroll to the bottom
- Click "Litmaps"
- Explore your new Seed Map
Browse connected, relevant papers using the Seed Map visual, or by scrolling through papers in the sidebar.

Finding the best research gaps isn't just a stroke of luck.
It comes from studying the literature and seeing what is and ISN'T there (yet!).

Thanks for sharing this great and specific way to do a literature review from scratch using Litmaps, Ilya!
I thought I would spend days on this lit review.
It took me just 10 minutes (no joke)!
Here is how and what tool I used:

Finding research gaps is already a hard task.
Don't make it harder by sifting only through text.
Use a visual strategy to spot potential gaps quickly:
1. Identify your topic
2. Search & categorize papers
3. Use visualizations to actually see the gaps between sub-topics

Most researchers and librarians we talk to have the same questions for us:
"How does Litmaps work?"
"Does it use AI?"
"Where do recommendations come from?"
Here's exactly how our search works, and what AI has to do with it:

Most researchers are aware that Litmaps can help in literature review
But it works for systematic reviews too
Just be sure to follow sys review guidelines (like this one) for how to use it
Calling all journal

Did you know there's a reporting guideline for

? It's called
@PRISMASearch
and it came out around 2021.
It details the

way in which
#SystematicReview
methods should be reported.

Do you have a strategy for finding research gaps?
Here's a step-by-step method for looking for potential gaps in the literature- and exactly how Litmaps fits in.
Thanks for sharing this workflow, Ilya!
Every academic wants to find meaningful research gaps.
❌ Old way: Read 1000s of papers
✅ New way: A step-by-step, visual strategy
Here's my workflow using Obsidian, Litmaps, Consensus and DrawIO:
(and a webinar on how to do this!)
