Citation searching (finding out which articles have cited an article or book after publication) can be done on Web of Science or for articles published after 1996 on Scopus.

Databases are provided on different interfaces. Most of them support the following functions:

• Advanced Search screen provides options for combining your keywords.
• Combine keywords using appropriate Boolean Operators (drop down menu):
  • AND - to combine/narrow down; OR - to broaden; NOT - to exclude terms.
• Use synonyms, alternative terms, phrases and variations in spelling.
• Use truncation at the end of your term (*) to find variations of your search term
• If you want words to appear next to each other in an exact phrase, use quotation marks (" ")
• You can specify how close two words appear together in your search strategy. This can make your results more relevant; generally the closer two words appear to each other, the closer the relationship is between them. Commands for adjacency searching differ among databases, so make sure you consult database guides.
• Use citation searching to find articles that have been cited by other publications. You can use cited reference searching in:
  • Web of Science
  • Scopus
  • Google Scholar
• Refine results by subjects, controlled vocabulary, publication year ...
• Select/Mark relevant references and display results.
• Save, E-mail or Export selected references.
