Citation tracking & research impact
Citation Tracking - mapping the impact of an idea or author
Cited
reference searching is the process of tracking research backward and
forwards in time. When viewing an article in a citation database, the
full citation will list references used by the author to write that
paper. From this list you can link to any articles indexed in that
database. If an article is not indexed in that database it will not be
linked.
