How It Works

Simple 3-step process

Step 1

Enter a seed paper

One paper to start from — DOI, title, or PDF

Step 2

Bidirectional citation trace

Traces both what the paper cites (past) and what cites it (future)

Step 3

Visualize the lineage

Citation network graph + key-paper timeline to grasp the lineage at a glance

Who Is This For

For anyone who needs the big picture of a field — fast

Researchers entering a new field

Don't know which papers are seminal or which are the key ones? Start from one recommendation and auto-trace the full lineage.

Graduate students writing deep lit reviews

Want to show 'why' a field developed this way, not just list recent papers? Use the citation lineage to demonstrate the development trajectory.

Academics doing systematic reviews

Need to cover a field comprehensively? Nubint AI explores the full citation network from your seed paper to surface anything you might've missed.
