CiteStamp

Walk any paper's citation graph, free

Visit CiteStamp

CiteStamp is a free, open citation graph service that allows users to walk any paper's citation network as a live map. It separates human-signed claims (gold) from machine-harvested edges (steel), never blends them, and provides a public, CC0, append-only log. It also offers a free bibliography checker, a retraction watchlist, and an MCP endpoint for AI agents to query citations without a key.
