This is a wonderful contribution to the scientific community! Effective network/citation-based tools for exploring the literature are absolutely vital, particularly in domains (like interdisciplinary areas) that are still growing and not yet well-structured/paradigmatic.

The system leverages network-based similarity (co-citation, co-reference) instead of raw citations, and uses these metrics to yield a much more maneageble and explorable set of "leads" for each seed paper.
I should add that it builds on the open dataset provided by @SemanticScholar, who also have been adding very useful tools for exploring the citation graph through "meaningful citations" and exploring where the citation was made.
This growing suite of publicly accessible tools make it far easier to employ sophisticated strategies of chaining, which are essential in interdisciplinary and growing domains, where keywords aren't as useful.
