Citation Trails
Use citation trails to:
-
Understand the background and context of a research topic
-
Discover key authors and influential works in a field
-
Verify the credibility and accuracy of the information
-
Find key articles that used your article in their references, therefore more recent information
Want to find what is probably the earliest to the most recent research on your topic?
Find a "good" article on your topic and then follow the citation trails backwards and forwards to
create a "timeline" of research.
