What is Litmaps? | Webrarian Episode 11

Does starting a new research project feel like exploring an uncharted territory? A traditional keyword search gives you a flat list of articles, but it doesn't give you a map—it doesn't show you the connections, the history, or the intellectual landscape of your topic. What if you could see the entire web of research and visually trace the evolution of ideas through time?

Welcome back to Webrarian! In this 10-minute episode, we explore Litmaps, a powerful tool that transforms the literature search into a beautiful, visual journey of discovery.

Learn how Litmaps acts as a "cartography tool for science," creating interactive maps of academic papers linked by their citations. We'll explain how you can start with a few "seed papers" to generate a stunning, timeline-based visualization of your field, allowing you to discover crucial research through connections, not just keywords. Discover its powerful "Monitor" feature, which acts as an automated scout to alert you to brand-new, relevant publications.

Join us to find out how this tool can help you understand the history of an idea, navigate the current state of research, and stay on the cutting edge of your field. If you're a visual thinker tired of endless lists, you won't want to miss this.
