Article Search

It's a good idea to check for cited references in Google Scholar. Once you find you works by author, you'll see the "Cited by" when Google Scholar has identified cited references. Click on that link to see who has cited your work.

There is a lot of duplication between results found in Web of Science and Google Scholar although they also search different sources. Be sure to search both tools and others listed under your discipline to the left to identify those who have cited your works.

Scopus is another tool that identifies cited references. We currently have a trial of Scopus valid though February 21, 2013.

Once you've set up a Google Scholar Citation or profile, you may be interested in more citation tracking tools. Consult Kresge Library's Researcher Tools for more information.
