CiteTraverse

Local-first citation discovery for systematic literature review workflows.

One Workspace For Citation Discovery

CiteTraverse helps researchers grow a corpus of research papers from a small seed set, inspect the citation graph around each paper, and keep screening decisions auditable. The corpus can be reviewed as a table, explored as a graph, summarized through the assistant, and stored as local-first project data. CiteTraverse is a cross-platform software that can be used on desktop, browser, and VS Code.

Expand Citation Neighborhoods

Start from seed papers, then explore backward references and forward citations with configuration citation information providers.

Screen With Provenance

Move papers through Inbox, Included, Deferred, Excluded, and Queued while preserving project history and citation edges.

Stay Local-First

CiteTraverse keeps ordinary directories with BibTeX and JSON files so that the project data can be accessed with other tools.

Explore As Table Or Graph

Keep selection, detail context, and citation structure connected while moving between list screening and graph exploration.

Organize Review Work

Use tags, collections, and notes to label and manage the review corpus.

AI Assistant

Ask copilot to carry out review actions and generate reports.
