There's something like a dozen literature mapping tools out there now. Aaron Tay is doing a good job of keeping track of them.

I've only used a couple of these and cannot make a recommendation myself.

Hello everyone,
How do I track 300 articles into a mind map?
A request came in recently asking for recommendations on software that could help with this.
The goal is a broad and detailed assembly of journal articles into one database and sets of mind maps. They've collective articles into citation managers (i.e., endnote) to help track an article list of works. But they're looking for a fuller database to track all items by subcategory, trace the writers and their other articles and run various queries.
Does anyone know/recommend a particular mind mapping software for the retrieval, tracking, and querying of journal articles? No preference if Open Source or proprietary. There are the best mind maps for 2022, but I have zero experience with mind maps and would like to hear the communities expertise on this one.
Thank you all in advance,
Sincerly,
Francisco Dejesus Juarez
