Phdtree – create and search your academic genealogy

In plain words

Phdtree is an academic genealogy platform where users can create and search family trees of academic advisors and students. The site maps the lineage of PhD supervision relationships, allowing researchers to trace their academic heritage and discover connections to notable scholars throughout history. It functions as a wiki, meaning the community builds and maintains the database collaboratively. The platform is designed for academics, graduate students, and anyone interested in exploring the genealogy of scholarly mentorship and academic lineages.
