> Some kind of academic CRM where you can start a new 'project' with some keywords and it assembles highly cited works and the authors of the works. From there you can recursively search through the bibliography of the seminal works and the works that cite the seminal work to build a research map. When researching different fields you often end up finding a) who the top researchers are and then you want to go read all of their stuff. b) who is currently working on the thing in $current_year who you might want to contact and talk to.

Yes, this would be great. Would also prefer if there's a way to trace back to the "origin" papers from which other papers build upon, and if you don't understand a term or concept, can search papers that explain it better.
