HAVE YOU EVER COMEACROSS A REALLY GOOD

ARTICLE AND WISHEDTHERE WERE MORE LIKE IT?

YOU’RE IN LUCK!

YOU CAN FIND MOREARTICLES ON THE SAME

TOPIC BY USING

FOOTNOTE CHASING

ANDCITED REFERENCE SEARCHING

FOOTNOTE CHASINGIS THE PRACTICE OF FINDING

CITATIONS IN THE REFERENCESOF RELEVANT ARTICLES AND

READING THE REFERENCED ARTICLES.

IT IS A WAY OF LOOKING

BACKAT WHAT RESEARCH WAS DONE

BEFORE THAT PUBLICATION.

CITED REFERENCE SEARCHING

IS FINDING OUT WHO HAS CITED THE RELEVANT ARTICLE

SINCE ITS PUBLICATION.

IT IS A WAY OF LOOKING

INTO WHAT RESEARCH WAS DONEAFTER THAT PARTICULAR ARTICLE.

FORWARD

BUT WHERE DOWE FIND THATINFORMATION?

CITED REFERENCE SEARCHINGCAN BE MORE DIFFICULT THANFOOTNOTE CHASING BECAUSE

THE CITATIONS AREN’T RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU.

LUCKILY, THERE ARE A FEWDATABASES THAT HAVECOMPILED THAT DATA.

BUT THE DATA IN EACHDATABASE IS ONLY AS GOOD

AS THE DATA IT HOLDS.

SO A PARTICULAR DATABASEWILL ONLY TELL YOU HOW MANY

ARTICLES IN THAT DATABASEHAVE CITED A SPECIFIC ARTICLE.

SO WE MAY NEVER KNOWEVERY ARTICLE THAT HASCITED A SPECIFIC ARTICLE.

BUT TO HELP US GET THE DATAWE CAN FIND, WE CAN USE
