Writing an academic paper requires significant time and effort to find, read, and organize many related papers, which are complex knowledge tasks. We present a novel interactive system that allows users to perform these tasks quickly and easily on the 2D canvas with pen and multitouch inputs, turning users’ sketches and handwriting into node-link diagrams of papers and citations that users can iteratively expand in situ toward constructing a coherent narrative when writing Related Work sections. Through a pilot study involving researchers experienced in publishing academic papers, we show that our system can serve as a visual, integrated, and flexible workspace for conducting comprehensive literature reviews.
