Inciteful

Inciteful is a research tool that helps users discover academic literature by analyzing citation networks rather than depending only on keywords or traditional citation counts. Users can start by searching for an individual paper or by importing a BibTeX file. The platform then uses link prediction algorithms to build a connected literature graph, searching through hundreds of millions of academic papers and indexed citations to find recent literature and state-of-the-art research.
