Cited Reference Searching
Posted by Celia Walter | 21 Jun, 2010Cited Reference Searching allows you to begin with a reference for an item you have read and then search for other publications which have been published since that item, which have cited that original source.
Why Can It be Useful?
- if the reference you began with was highly
relevant to your research, then it's likely that other publications
which have cited that item will also be relevant to your research
- to track the development of a theory over a period of years
- to identify core researchers in a field
- to understand the impact of a work
- to check how many times your own articles have been cited!
What Databases Can I Use For This? [besides the ISI web of Science citation databases]
