Click on the underlined article title to see the full record for the citation. To see references cited in the article, click on the Cited References link. To see documents that cite the parent article correctly, click on the Times Cited link.

(NOTE: Full-text links are available ONLY for those journals which the Library receives electronically AND for which ISI has completed an agreement with the publisher.) Using the feature
Related records share bibliography citations with the source or parent record, so the records have similar or common subjects. Related records that share the greatest number of citations with the parent record are listed first.
Using Searching by CITED AUTHOR. Enter name with the last name first, followed by initials. Using only the first initial, then the asterisk truncation symbol is advised: smith b* Only the first listed author of a cited reference is included. However, secondary cited authors are searchable when a cited journal article is also a source article; i.e., the article was published in a journal indexed by one of the citation databases. Click on Lookup. A list of works that cite the source document will be displayed. If a Cited Reference Lookup retrieves more than 500 references, you will receive a notice suggesting that you refine the search either by restricting the original search to fewer years or by adding components. Unlinked records may represent a work in a book, document, or non-indexed journal; a citation error; an unpublished item; or a work published prior to the years covered by the subscription. NOTE: The databases include results exactly as cited, so errors in original bibliographies will be perpetuated. Note that several hits with slight variations in spelling, volume number, page number, etc. may actually refer to the same source document. Searching by CITED WORK. Enter cited author and cited work (and cited year in four-digit format if desired). Cited work must be entered in the format required by this database. Use the list option for correct abbreviations, and consider all possible cited work variants for complete retrieval (jama* or j am med* or j amer med*) Click on Lookup.
