[AI Summary]: Inciteful is a free academic research tool that uses citation networks to help researchers discover relevant literature. Built on open scholarly bibliographic data with over 240 million papers and nearly 2 billion citations, it offers two main tools: Paper Discovery, which builds citation networks and uses network analysis algorithms to identify similar papers, important works, and prolific authors; and Literature Connector, designed for interdisciplinary scholars to visualize how two papers from different domains are connected through literature. The platform emphasizes citation-based discovery rather than traditional keyword search, providing network analysis capabilities that help researchers quickly get up to speed on new topics and find connections across fields.
