What you can explore

A citation network showing available links between works in the analyzed scope.

Direct Citation interface in SciMaps with sample research data
Actual SciMaps interface with sample data. Available records and results depend on your sources and configured services.

What you need

Selected project sources with available citation links.

How to use it

  1. Select sources in a project.
  2. Choose Direct Citation in Bibliometrics.
  3. Inspect citation direction and paper context; open AI Insights for optional AI-assisted interpretation.

Illustrative example

Suppose Paper P cites Paper Q and both are in the analyzed scope. Papers are nodes and a directed link points from the citing paper P to the cited paper Q. This records an available citation, not endorsement or similarity. Provider coverage, the selected collection and thresholds can omit other works or links.

Interpretation and limitations

The network depends on provider coverage and the selected scope. A citation is not an endorsement, and absent links may reflect missing data. Results describe the selected sources and available metadata; they do not represent all research in a field.
