High-quality bibliographies at the touch of a button. Start with a paper, an author, or a DOI and become an expert in minutes.
Every paper
earns its place.
oignon uses a snowballing strategy to explore the literature — back to find a field's roots, and forward to find the newest work built on top of them.
A quick glance at your fingertips.
Tap any node to see its connections. Oignon fetches the key metadata instantly — no friction slowing down your workflow.
Finally, a readable citation graph.
Most tools force-simulate node positions, which favours structure over meaning and collapses into an unreadable hairball as a graph grows.
Oignon lays every paper on its publication year instead. The seminal work swells where references converge; gaps in your reading show up as empty space.
And because oignon reads forward as well as back, you see not just a field's roots but the newest work extending it — coverage most tools stop short of.
Built for how research actually works.
