Literature Explorer is a supporting tool for topic expansion and bibliography discovery.

Literature Explorer

Bibliography and topic expansion for deeper evidence trails.

Literature Explorer is the learner-facing label for a supporting research tool powered by the CiteGeist API. Its role is to help with source discovery, topic expansion, and curated bibliography growth around a question or domain.

Status

This is a planned public surface, not yet a full live app.

Intended users

  • Teachers building lesson resources and reading sets
  • EcoSpecies editors working on citations and source expansion
  • Advanced self-learners who want to trace a topic through the literature

Intended functions

  • Expand a seed topic into related literature
  • Build and audit BibTeX-centered bibliography trails
  • Support evidence-oriented reading and source review workflows

Implementation note

The underlying codebase currently exists as the CiteGeist project. The public site uses the more functional label Literature Explorer because that better describes the learner and teacher use case.
