You've found an article that is great for your research topic, but now you want to find other related sources. You can do this by investigating the research that influenced the article you're reading, or by finding other research that was influenced by the article.
1. Finding sources that influenced an article you are reading.
As you read an article on your topic, pay close attention to the sources the authors cite. The articles' introduction and/or literature review sections are great places to check, as the author often introduces research previously published on the topic. Take note of the research that sounds relevant, then scroll to the article's reference list to find the full citation.
Once you’ve found the citation, copy it. Then, open Google Scholar in a new tab, paste the citation you found, and click search. If you haven’t synced your Google Scholar account with Daemen, go to our How to Get Full Text in Google Scholar page to see how. This is an important step as it adds links to Google Scholar to search the Daemen Library catalog to find full text articles.
2. Find sources that were influenced by an article you found.
Paste the article’s citation in Google Scholar and click search. From the results page, click the “Cited By” link beneath the article’s abstract. This pulls up a list of sources that have cited that article.
