Research Rabbit is a robust citation-based literature mapping program for Windows available on the official website. The main purpose of this utility is to optimize time spent on searching for references as you begin planning your essay, academic article, scientific manuscript or review.

Functioning principle

The concept behind the application is quite simple. You can specify one or more papers, and during the next step, it will discover more documents on the topic which is dictated by the items which you have previously selected. The project was designed to support your research without having to constantly switch between searching modes and databases, a process that is time consuming and may lead to unnecessary citation mining.

How to use

The first step is to create an account, please note that it is completely free of charge. You can see that your collection is untitled and empty, so you have to click on the +Add Papers button to select a reference paper you want to use to start your research. By pressing Similar work, you have the ability to visualize the closest and best connection possible between your reference paper and the literature available online. Alternatively, you may try a similar tool like scite AI.
