What is a Cited Reference Search?

"A cited reference search starts with a known item and moves forward in time, potentially guiding you through the evolution of a concept in the literature of one or more fields. Web of Science indexes the items from each bibliography or list of references."
 

  • Cited Author searches the individual author or group credited.
  • Cited Work searches the publication as a whole where the item was published. *Standard abbreviations should be used - see list provided in Web of Science.
  • Cited Title searches the individual article or book chapter title.
