CS Structure is a new tool for searching and browsing CiteSeer. It uses the EqRank algorithm to organize the papers into a hierarchy of topics (which CS Structure calls "themes"), sub-themes, sub-sub-themes, and so on. The grand theme of "computer science" is at the top of the pyramid and the individual papers are at the bottom. You can browse papers by theme. As you browse up and down the tree of themes, you can elect to view authors who have written on that theme, "authority articles" on that theme, related themes, and the list of sub-themes. Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, you can't search by theme but have to find one by climbing up and down the tree. However, you can search by author and title. When you get a list of relevant papers, you can sort it by the number of citations they have ganered or click through on an article to the articles citing it. HEP Structure is a similar tool for searching and browsing the SLAC SPIRES database. (Thanks to trunov.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
