This study aims to assess the use of Connected Papers in academic research, focusing on usage frequency, purpose, user satisfaction, and perceived efficiency compared to traditional research tools. A quantitative survey was conducted with 123 academic researchers who have used Connected Papers, collecting data on their usage patterns and satisfaction in comparison with tools like Google Scholar and Scopus. The findings indicate that Connected Papers is highly valued for its ability to visually map research papers and reveal connections, though 59.3% of respondents reported difficulties, particularly with navigation. The tool is mainly used for educational purposes (61%), with a smaller portion (21.1%) using it for research. The study highlights the potential of Connected Papers to enhance literature review practices, though usability issues need addressing. Future research should focus on improving navigation and exploring integrations with other research platforms to expand its utility and accessibility.
