[AI Summary]: Local Citation Network is a web-based tool that helps researchers visualize subsets of the global citation network for literature review. Using metadata from OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, OpenCitations, and Crossref, it creates interactive network visualizations based on references from seed articles entered via DOI or by scanning plain text files. The tool identifies ‘Top Cited’ papers (foundational works missing from seed articles) and ‘Top Citing’ papers (recent works citing multiple seed articles), helping researchers discover relevant literature through citation relationships. Built with vis.js network library, it offers both citation networks and co-authorship networks with customizable visualization settings.
