Summary

## Key takeaways - **Start Citation Map via Search or DOI**: Put in a paper first to create a citation map by doing a simple search like 'atomic structure' or entering a DOI from your library or search results. [00:11], [00:54] - **Origin Paper Centers the Map**: Set the paper as origin to see it in the middle with connected papers around it, arrows showing citations, and related papers on the outskirts. [01:05], [01:16] - **Metrics Rank Top Papers and Authors**: Select metrics to see the most cited papers like one with 968 citations, most connected papers, and top contributing authors in the list. [01:24], [01:36] - **Customize Map Size and Colors**: Use advanced settings to change paper sizes, colors, increase max papers shown, zoom in or out, and reset with fit. [02:00], [02:14] - **Add Multiple Origins for Expansion**: Set additional papers from most cited as origins to generate more citation maps and expand the network with multiple origins.

Hello, my name is Ryan and I'm super excited to show you the citation map feature of answer this. Now, you'll see that this looks a little bit empty and that's because we need to put in a paper

first to create a citation map from. To

do this, we can simply just make a simple search and uh see what comes up.

So, I'm just going to say atomic structure. See what papers come up. We

structure. See what papers come up. We

see that there's different papers. sum

of uh 2,619 citations, 4,491, quite a few here. We can actually save these to our library from here if we wish. But um another way that we can

wish. But um another way that we can actually get a citation map is also by entering our DOI. So if we go to our

library and um we can see our DOI is right here. We can go ahead, we can copy

right here. We can go ahead, we can copy the DOI or from our literature review search or just general search of answer this. We can also find the DOIs in the

this. We can also find the DOIs in the paper there as well. Now, if we head back to the citation map, we can simply just select this DOI that we saved from before and insert it. And from here,

we'll find our paper and we can set this as origin. After we set this origin, we

as origin. After we set this origin, we get something that looks like this where we can see our paper in the middle here with all the connected papers around it.

We can see the different arrows of where they're being cited to as well as some of the papers on the outskirts as well which is related to our topic. Now from

here on the right hand side we see our paper info and if we select this metrics option we can then see the most cited papers within this list. So we can see

one of them has 968 citations. We can also see the most

citations. We can also see the most connected papers in here as well as the top contributing authors inside of this paper search. But if we click out of

paper search. But if we click out of that, we can also see the origins on the right hand side. Since we only have one paper as our origin, it makes sense that we can only see one paper here as well.

And finally, we have this more controls option where we can go to advanced settings. We can change the size of the

settings. We can change the size of the papers that are inside of our citation map. We can also decrease the size and

map. We can also decrease the size and change the colors as well. And

interestingly, we can also increase the max papers that our citation map shows.

So we can go ahead and increase the amount of papers here or also decrease the amount of papers as well as zoom out, zoom in and if we want and if we want to reset the settings we can also

press fit here too. Now if we click out of here we can zoom out and if we go back into the metrics bit and go to the most cited papers we can actually set some of these papers as origin as well.

And when we do this we will get an additional citation map as we can see.

And now when we go back to the origin page, we can see that there are multiple origins. And of course, we can increase

origins. And of course, we can increase the amount of papers here in order to increase our citation map size. I hope

you found this helpful, and I'm excited to hear how you use the citation map in order to discover new papers, see the papers are connected, and all that good stuff that we discussed. And if you do want to see more tips and guides like

this, feel free to head over to the Answer This YouTube channel where you can find more valuable resources just like this. All righty. Thank you so much
