Yeah I tried Connected Papers, as well das Research Rabbit, but somehow they never turn out to be super helpful. Do you have a specific strategy when you use them?
Could you elaborate what you mean with 2) ? What reference manager are you using?
Yeah, I’ve had mixed results too. I find tools like Connected Papers or ResearchRabbit most useful when I’m exploring a loosely defined area – like when I was looking at how “burnout” and “compassion fatigue” are used across occupational health and mental health literature. I usually start with a solid anchor paper and follow citation paths out from there to spot newer or adjacent work I might miss with keyword searches alone.
Re: reference managers – I use Zotero, mainly because it makes tagging easy. I’ll tag papers with terms like “job strain” or “occupational stress” and leave quick notes on definitions or measurement tools. It helps when trying to map how constructs shift or get re-labelled over time.

Thanks for the explanation.
