Citation Chasing
- Citation chasing involves conducting research by using citations from sources you already have to find more sources.
- This can be a great alternate search strategy when regular keyword searching isn’t turning up the results you would like.
Cited Reference Searching
-
Cited reference searching involves finding out how many other sources have cited the source you’ve found since it was published
-
You can use the "cited by" feature in Google Scholar to find other sources that have cited your source.
-
Some databases also have a "cited reference search" feature you can use. For example, there is a "cited references" tab along the top bar of the Academic Search Complete database.
