Research requires teamwork, and Litmaps makes sure you're moving in the same direction. In one space, you have visual maps of relevant and new literature, the ability to manage teammates, and annotate collaboratively so everyone is on the same page.

Hey all, my name is Gabriel Bioletti, one of the latest recruits in the growing team here at Litmaps. As we grow, we have taken care to bring on board people, like myself, who have paid their dues attempting to undertake long-term research projects without tools aimed at streamlining many of the arduous tasks associated with the research process. Having tackled the ever-present problem of organising your literature reviews before I came, we’ve been working hard to overcome another key problem, one for which we are in a perfect position to address. That is, the organisation and communication of a research team. Working together in a research team often results in a the constant navigation of various cloud-drive repositories, important missed emails, and waiting for people to uncover temporarily lost notes. But this need not be the case! - Our visualisations of citation networks provide an intuitive map of the work that needs to be done. - Adding collaborators to your workspace allows everyone to be on board with the relevant literature, what has been read, and contribute with knowledge they already have. - Note-taking functionality allows insights on important to papers to be made, stored, and communicated in one place. - Analysis of the citation network provides recommendations of new, relevant research to the members of a team, meaning everyone will continue to stay up-to-date, and on the same page. Come in hot and import to your reference manager (Zotero, Mendeley, Bibtex etc.), or brainstorm the first few seed articles together, and we will help you charge ahead.  Let the citation map guide your way as you navigate the endless sea of literature and soon your workspace will have a clear and visual direction to move forward and conquer the task ahead of you.
