For literature reviews, science mapping, and patent landscape work, paste citing-document reference lists or a co-citation matrix. Compare which works are cited together, rank the strongest pairs, and group recurring links into research themes or technology areas. Leave with ranked co-citation pairs, a cluster interpretation, and a short methods note for your analysis.

What it writes

  • Ranked co-citation pairs
  • Research or technology cluster summary
  • Short methods note for your analysis

How to use it

For the strongest result, include the citing-document reference lists, use consistent identifiers for each paper or patent, and name your field and goal—for example, mapping themes or comparing two research areas.

What you bring

  • Citing-document reference lists or a co-citation matrix
  • Consistent paper or patent identifiers
  • Your field or research question
  • A corpus with cited references

A good fit for

  • Mapping the intellectual structure of a fast-growing research topic
  • Comparing influential papers across two competing research areas
  • Finding technology clusters in a patent citation dataset

Ways to start

A few requests this Agent can handle.

I have three citing records: A cites Smith 2020 and Lee 2021; B cites Smith 2020 and Patel 2019; C cites Smith 2020 and Lee 2021. Count co-citations and explain the strongest pair.

Here is a co-citation matrix for five papers: A-B 12, A-C 4, B-C 9, B-D 3, C-D 8. Rank the links and suggest likely clusters.

I’m mapping battery recycling patents. In my pasted reference lists, group frequently co-cited patents, flag the strongest pairs, and summarize what each cluster appears to cover.

Good to know

This workspace provides text assistance.

  • Finding citation counts without reference data
  • Proving influence or causal impact from co-citation alone
  • No live access to academic or patent databases
  • Very large datasets may exceed chat limits
