Litmaps

Done with your literature review? Don't you wish... The second you "finish" your literature review, a new paper can be released that's highly related to your topic. But how would you know? Plus, how exhausting is it to check in on all your favorite journals every single day? Of course, there's no "silver bullet" here. Staying up-to-date is both A) Very important B) Very hard But, setting up an automatic alert system is one way to stay up-to-date throughout your research project. Litmaps will inform you when new papers on your topic come out. If a new paper comes out that connects to your literature review so far, it'll let you know by email. Check below to see how to set it up in a few simple steps. How do you stay up-to-date with the endless sea of literature? _________________ We're on a mission to help accelerate impactful science.

It's great to hear our last Webinar session is helping researchers tackle their literature review process better. Thank you for sharing, Adnan!

I had the pleasure of attending an insightful session led by Marina Kisley, titled "Literature Review Webinar with Litmaps" 🌟 This webinar was packed with strategies for simplifying the literature review process, which can often feel overwhelming for researchers. Here full session recorded: https://lnkd.in/g4Fku7yQ During the session, I have learned how to: ✅ Get started efficiently on any literature review ✅ Identify key papers quickly ✅ Avoid getting lost or falling into research rabbit holes ✅ Stay organized and collect all the necessary literature with ease Using Litmaps has empowered me to explore, understand, and contribute to scientific literature more effectively. It's definitely a game changer for anyone diving into academic research! #research #literaturereview #Litmaps #academictools #learning #webinar

Want to automatically stay up-to-date on your research? Litmaps will instantly alert you when new, relevant papers come out on your topic. Here's just how to set that up easily: (Thank you for sharing, Razia!)

It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the research out there. But there's one incredibly simple way to make it easier: use your eyes! As visual beings, we all process visualizations much faster than written text. It's how we're built. 👀 Try using visual literature maps to understand research faster. Here are six ways to do it: 1. See how a field evolves Review a Litmap for your research so you can easily understand it from a bird's-eye-view. 2. Spot important papers fast Easily distinguish articles relevant to you by sorting visualizations based on citation count, date, etc. 3. Find high-impact papers It can be hard to tell apart a high-impact paper from a long list of titles. Use Litmaps to quickly spot them (hint: look at the top left of your Litmap!) 4. Tell apart citations versus references Clearly see what is citing what by looking at their connections in a Litmap. 5. Visualize your own library Upload the articles you already have to see what you're missing 6. Find research gaps Visualizations are paramount in spotting research gaps, and clearly communicating these to other researchers. How do you use visualization in your research? _________________ We're on a mission to help accelerate impactful science.

Litmaps Monitor tells you when papers on YOUR topic come out - based on how those papers connect to your own research. It keeps you up-to-date without bogging you down with hundreds of papers. Thanks for sharing this excellent tutorial of how to use it, Muneeb. See below!

How can you be sure you didn't miss any key studies in your literature review? You may have collected dozens or even hundreds of papers on your topic. But can you be certain you didn't miss something important? There's a powerful, hugely under-rated way to do this: Search USING your existing library. You can use Litmaps to search using all your existing papers as an input - and Litmaps will find any additional, connected work. This helps you discover anything you may have overlooked, including important studies. Here's how it works: 1. Create a Map Import the articles you already have into Litmaps, either with a file, by list, or Zotero. 2. Run Explore Run the Explore algorithm to find relevant papers based on connections to your papers. 3. Review article suggestions Review the suggested articles and see if any are important to your topic that you maybe missed. You can see the metadata and source papers for each one. 4. Target your results For example: set the date filter to after 2018, to see if you’re missing any recent work. You can also filter by keywords, journals or authors. 5. Export the papers Now that you’ve found what you needed, you can export the articles out of Litmaps, or use Zotero sync to do it automatically. Do you have another way to check what work you missed? Share with other researchers! _________________ Want to learn more? JOIN OUR UPCOMING WEBINAR HERE: https://lu.ma/h0tdj94o

Feeling stuck on picking your next research adventure? Steal my 'Research Gap' Pyramid Chart to navigate through! Ever find yourself going round in circles trying to choose a research topic? Dive into the world of 'research gaps'! Spotting these gaps is crucial for understanding what's already out there and identifying areas ripe for exploration. Let's explore the 7 key types of research gaps that could set the stage for your groundbreaking study: 1) **Evidence Gap** - Where data or empirical evidence is just not enough. 2) **Knowledge Gap** - Areas that scream for more understanding or info. 3) **Practical Knowledge Gap** - The chasm between theory and its application in the real world. 4) **Empirical Gap** - A dearth of empirical studies pointing to a need for more data. 5) **Methodological Gap** - When past research methods just don't cut it anymore. 6) **Population Gap** - The overlooked or underrepresented groups in studies. 7) **Theoretical Gap** - Missing pieces in the theoretical jigsaw of your field. Ready to be the one who fills these voids? 🌟 Choose your gap and leap towards new knowledge. Striving for more on navigating academic waters without hitting a rejection iceberg?
