I have been writing about what I call citation based literature mapping tools for over 5 years now, starting from Citation Gecko in 2018. This trend really intensified in 2020, with the overall victory of the open citation movement making citation linking data effectively "free", and tools like Connected papers, Researchrabbit, LitMaps and more really started to get some traction.
