It also incorporates a monitoring feature that automatically alerts users to new publications related to their specific topics of interest, ensuring they stay current with the latest developments in their field. The tool is designed to streamline the research workflow, starting from an initial paper and expanding outwards to cover a comprehensive body of related work.
