Citation Tracking

Citation trackingis a way to trace the scholarly impact of a specific research study or author's work. It

can be an effective way to use a "landmark" or influential article to find more recent, related articles that

cite that article. It also can be an effective way to track who has subsequently cited the work of a leading

scholar in a particular field.
