It is a useful way of finding other possible search terms you can use to find information. What information do I use? How do I do it? Enter the name of your target author in the prescribed format Jones JC and the year of publication Select Search. The system responds with a list of the books and papers published by Jones in , which have been cited in the bibliographies of the articles in the database.
Select the entries that correspond to your target and then select 'Finish Search'. Have a look at the articles in the results list and use the mark feature to save them in a list of useful references. Search for the text you are interested in e. This presents you with a list of other texts that have cited the text you specified.

Nov Click Search. Click the the Search banner again and choose the Advanced Search link. Combine your cited reference search for this author but eliminate the articles written by this author as well as cited by this author by using the connector NOT. Use the numbers in the search history, available under Advanced Search to do this. Using the above examples you would enter the following in the advanced search box: 1 NOT 2.
Create a Citation Analysis Report for a Department or Research Center The Citation Report feature displays bar charts for the number of items published each year and the number of citations each year, plus counts for the average number of citations per item, the number of citations per year per publication, average number of citations per year per publication, and the H-index.
Access Web of Science sign in for off campus use, if necessary. Use the "Search" feature to find all the articles by members of the unit; this is generally difficult to do with just one single search statement.
Use any or all of the following methods to find the unit's journal articles:. If there is a small set of articles you want to analyze, do a search for each article, searching by either the words in the title or a combination search for first author plus words in the title.
Use the Advanced Search feature to "OR" the sets together to get one combined set that includes all the articles. Display the combined results set and click on the "Create Citation Report" link at the top upper right of the list. Do an author search for each individual in the unit. Select "Author Search" in the pull-down menu. Use the author name with first initial, then then click on the "Add Author Name Variant" button to enter the author's name with first and middle initials.
Example: smith j or smith jr After entering the author's name, click on the "Select Research Domain" button and select one or more research domains. After selecting research domains, click on the "Select Organization" button to select one or more research organizations. If you have multiple sets of answers, use the Advanced Search feature to "OR" the individual results sets together to get one combined set. Once you have all the results in a single set of references, click on the "Create Citation Report" link at the top upper right of the list.
Use the "Basic Search" feature to find all the articles by an author. Recommended search: Use the author name with first initial, then add "OR author's name with first and middle initials". Following references back to other work: We look through the documents books, monographs, articles that we already know about to find references footnotes, endnotes, etc.
We get and read those works too, because we assume they will, in some way, are related to the relevant document's content. The essential problem with the first two strategies above is that they are only going to point you to research literature that is older than they themselves are. If you are reading a article on cognitive dissonance, you just won't find references to more recent literature in it than at least a couple of years before the date of the article that referenced it.
It is the same with much of the bibliographic literature too: unless a bibliography is a recurrent publication, or is made available online in a continuously updated fashion, it can not maintain entries for the very, very recently published research materials.
The third method--going to a scholar who keeps up with who is working on what aspects of some topic--is a wonderful way of getting an evaluated assessment of who is now working in the research area, and an assessment of what they are saying in their research. But, it is also the method that is not generally available to most of us. A colleague of the scholar will probably be able to get this information, and a student of the scholar might too, but many of us would not: we have no association with the scholar; we are just taking up his or her time.
But there is another strategy, a fourth technique, that can be employed to locate recent research: citation indexing. Citation indexing makes links between books and articles that were written in the past and articles that make reference to "cite" these older publications. In other words, it is a technique that allows us to trace the use of an idea an earlier document forward to others who have used "cited" it.
The evidence that we take as indicating this "relationship" between earlier research and subsequent research are the references or footnotes or endnotes citations in the more recent work.
If you will, there is an informational "ancestry" of a current idea as it is expressed in the literature. That ancestry is noted by the author of the current idea his journal article through his footnotes--his research report's citations.
Well, think of the, say, 12 citations made in a current journal article about some research topic. Just as there might be four "assigned" subject headings to this current journal article for indexing purposes in some indexing database, we could also find the 12 citations to previous journal articles and books "assigned" as headings to "index" this article under as well.
Were we to do that for all of the current journal articles we are adding to our indexing service, we could look up current articles by subject headings or by authors of previously published materials that were cited by more recent articles. That is the trick: we tread the citations found in recent articles as "index entries" to be put in our indexing database for retrieval purposes.
How does this technique change a searcher's strategy for locating information? Well, it allows us to follow--forward through time--a concept's or idea's or methodology's use by other scholars.
