Library Resources and Research (HC)

These three databases (Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, and Science) are set up to search sources in journal article footnotes. This allows you to find newer articles which cite key books and articles for your topic. By relying on connections between authors and moving forward in time, citation searching can open up new avenues of research.

When you connect, choose the Cited References option to begin.
Enter the author's name: e.g., chenoweth e* Last name first, First name initial only with asterisk. [For the book, Why Civil Resistance Works]
Skip Cited Work box
Put the publication year in the Cited Year(s) box [2011 in the example above]
On the next screen, sort the results by Cited Work, choose the relevant results and hit "See Results."
The results screen shows the newest articles first. Most records include a summary of contents, so that you can determine how relevant they may be for your research.
Use the search box and filters on the left to refine your results.
Note also the References link on the far right. It gives you an immediate view of the bibliographies from the Cited References you have just found.

You can find cited references in Google Scholar searching by article or book title or by author. For the publication titles use quotation marks for specificity. In the results, look for the link Cited by [number]. Google Scholar has the advantage of including books in its cited references in contrast to Web of Science's coverage only of journal articles.
