Build Academic Citation Networks for Gephi Visualization
Automates building citation networks from seed research papers by fetching references recursively, analyzing clusters, and exporting graph data for Gephi or Cytoscape.
This n8n workflow enables researchers to construct detailed citation networks from academic papers using seed identifiers like DOIs or PubMed IDs. It fetches paper details, recursively expands to cited and citing works up to a configurable depth, builds graph structures with nodes for papers and edges for citations, performs analysis like centrality metrics and clustering, and exports ready-to-visualize data for tools like Gephi or Cytoscape. Compatible with self-hosted n8n using community nodes
