Research Rabbit

Research Rabbit is a bit different to its rivals in that it functions by the user initially listing, as an example, a paper/s on the topic of their interest.
Based on this paper/s Research Rabbit will then find numerous similiar research. It also has some great mapping capabilties, mapping connected authors and their works, so you can see relationships. It will also show timelines.
It can be a bit confusing to use.

 

Main search interface. This allows you to search for an article to see if it is on the database, search for various articles by keyword, or add an article.

Research Rabbit has complex mapping abilities, showing connections between authors, and their works, and timelines.
