Citation Mining

Once you find a really good article on your topic, take a look at the references. Citations give you the bibliographic information you need in order to find the articles the author used for his/her research. If you understand each part of the citation, it makes it possible for you to search for OR request the information through ILL (Interlibrary Loan).

Google Scholar
Google Scholar enables you to find more articles for your research outside the library. It also has a Cited By feature to help you track the number of times an article has been cited and where the article has been cited. Any articles you can't find in the library can be requested through ILL.
