Citation searching helps you find out how many times a particular publication has been cited and in what contexts.
Why do it?
- Tracking the use and evolution of a particular idea over time.
- To locate newer material related to a given publication or author.
- To show the impact of your work by seeing who is citing you.
- To find other researchers in a field.
- To assess the relative quality or merit of a publication. Publications cited more frequently are generally more impactful and may be considered more reliable.
How to do it?
Many databases have a "cited by" link.
