    Introduction path

    Professional networks are vital for landing new opportunities and starting fresh research collaborations, and nothing beats a warm introduction over a cold email.

    This tool maps out those potential hand-offs by traversing co-authorship networks from OpenAlex, which is reasonably live. To keep the leads realistic, it skips massive consortium papers and focuses on closer team collaborations (≤ 30 authors), ranking connections by how often and how recently those researchers have published together.

    The search expands outward from both researchers simultaneously, a two-sided BFS, exploring collaborators in order of how recently they published together. So when multiple paths exist, the one returned is the one whose bridge nodes have the most recent active connections. No data is ever shared with this site: all queries run directly in your browser against the OpenAlex API.
