Each similarity graph is built around a selected or base paper. From there, ResearchPal maps connections outward using:
- Citations — Papers that cite the selected paper
- References — Papers cited within the selected paper
- Keyword Matching — Papers with similar topics or keywords
This allows users to understand:
- How research has evolved
- Which papers influenced the selected work
- What research built upon the selected paper
- Related research in similar domains
Instead of manually opening multiple papers, users can visually explore everything in one place.
Similarity Graphs are fully interactive and designed for easy exploration:
- Click nodes to view paper details
- Hover nodes to highlight connections
- Drag nodes to reposition the graph
- Zoom in and out of the canvas
- Move around the graph smoothly
This interactive experience makes it easier to analyze complex research relationships and uncover hidden connections between papers.
ResearchPal provides built-in filters to help users focus on specific types of connections:
- Citations
- References
- Keyword Matching
Users can quickly switch between these views to:
- See papers citing the selected paper
- Explore references used in the selected paper
- Discover related research by topic similarity
This helps users navigate large research networks without feeling overwhelmed.
Similarity Graphs are directly integrated into Search Papers and Paper Details. Users can:
- Build Similarity Graph from search result cards
- Open Similarity Graph from paper detail page
- Explore related papers instantly
- Jump between papers within the graph
This creates a seamless research workflow — from discovering papers to exploring research networks.
