Citation searching
Following the pathways of citations is an essential component of your research.
What has a researcher cited? Who has cited a piece of research? If you have published or presented a conference paper you may wish to know where your research has been cited.
How often research articles have been cited may be an indicator of importance. Citation is used as an indicator of quality by research funding authorities such as the Australian Research Council.
Citation tracking is an imperfect process, and no tool will completely catch the impact of a published article.
