Key Features

Everything you need to get the most out of Paper Graph.

Interactive Graph Visualization

Explore citation networks as interactive node-and-edge graphs. Click any paper to see its connections and metadata.

Expand & Discover

Start from a seed paper and expand outward — discover citing papers, references, and cross-connections across the network.

Multi-Database Search

Find seed papers across multiple academic databases including Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the graph get built?

You start by selecting a seed paper. The agent then fetches papers that cite it and papers it references, adding them as connected nodes. You can keep expanding from any node to grow the network.

Which databases are used to find papers?

The agent searches Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and other academic databases to find papers and their citation relationships.

Is there a limit on how many papers I can add?

There is no hard limit. The graph grows as you expand nodes. For best performance, we recommend keeping graphs under a few hundred nodes.

Can I export the graph or paper list?

Yes, you can export the list of papers discovered in your citation network for use in your reference manager or further analysis.

Explore Other Research Agents

ChatAcademia offers specialized AI agents for every stage of your research workflow.

Find Papers

Stop switching between databases. Find relevant papers from ArXiv, PubMed, Google Scholar, and more — all in one search. Filter, sort, and organize results effortlessly.

Claim Evidence

Paste an argument or upload a paper. Claim Evidence extracts checkable claims, finds papers that support or refute each one, and saves quotes, rationales, confidence, and evidence gaps.

Brainstorm Research Questions

Stuck on what to research? Let AI help you brainstorm, refine, and explore research questions based on your field, interests, and existing literature.

Identify Research Gaps

Automatically analyze academic literature to find under-explored areas, methodological gaps, and opportunities for new contributions in your research domain.

Find Novel Research Questions

Discover truly original research questions with AI-powered novelty scoring. Each question is checked against existing literature and scored from 0 to 10 for novelty.

Reading Assistant

Upload PDFs and let AI help you understand complex papers. Get summaries, explanations of methodology, key findings extraction, and answers to your questions — all with inline citations.

Ask Audio Notes

Record your research thoughts on the go. The AI transcribes, organizes, and helps you develop audio notes into structured research content.

Find Citations

Find the right citations for your claims, arguments, and literature review. The AI searches across databases to find supporting sources and helps you build a strong citation list.

Hallucination Checker

Paste a bibliography or upload a manuscript. Hallucination Checker checks each reference by DOI and scholarly search, links to real matched papers, then flags mismatches, duplicates, missing DOIs, retractions, and likely fabricated citations.

Extract Data

Automatically extract tables, figures, key findings, and structured data from research papers. Save hours of manual data extraction with AI-powered document processing.

Notepad

AI-assisted writing environment for drafting, editing, and developing academic documents with intelligent suggestions and research integration.

Zotero

Connect your Zotero library and have AI-powered conversations about your entire reference collection. Search, analyze, and discover connections across your papers.

Mendeley

Connect your Mendeley account and have intelligent conversations about your research documents. Search by title, author, or year across your entire library.

Literature Overview

Get a complete overview of available literature on any research topic. The AI defines search strategy, screens papers, extracts data, and synthesizes findings — all in one automated workflow.

Research Verdict

Ask a yes/no research question and get a clear, evidence-based verdict. The AI analyzes published studies, classifies their stances, and delivers a percentage breakdown with quality indicators.

Find Grants

Stop searching grant databases one by one. Find funding from US, EU, and UK sources — Grants.gov, NIH, Horizon Europe, UKRI — all in a single search with deadline tracking.

Google Drive

Import files from Google Drive and let AI read, search, and analyze them. Ask questions across your documents, compare papers, and extract insights — all without leaving ChatAcademia.

Mock Peer Review

Upload your research paper and get structured, multi-category feedback. The AI reviews your manuscript across 7 dimensions — from argument logic to technical accuracy — with severity ratings and actionable suggestions.

Impact Beacon

Move from findings to audience-ready impact materials without overclaiming. Impact Beacon searches related papers first, then maps stakeholders, drafts plain-language briefs, plans dissemination calendars, tracks evidence, and prepares outreach kits for review.

Poster Forge

Turn an abstract, result, or rough research story into a conference-ready poster or talk plan. Poster Forge grounds the presentation in related papers, shapes the core message, builds panel storyboards, plans delivery, and prepares evidence-backed Q&A.

Study Steward

Move from a research idea to an organized study launch plan. Study Steward drafts workflow phases, ethics-readiness checks, data management sections, timelines, and submission packet checklists so teams can spot blockers before work begins.

Analysis Foundry

Move from variables and hypotheses to a defensible analysis workflow. Analysis Foundry profiles datasets, maps research questions to methods, drafts model specifications, builds reproducibility checklists, and plans reporting so researchers can spot statistical and workflow risks before results are written.

Seminar Architect

Move from teaching goals to an organized course design. Seminar Architect drafts outcome-aligned modules, assessment plans, rubrics, teaching timelines, and reusable feedback banks so instructors can review workload, clarity, and student-facing expectations before launch.
