  3. Citation Index Database • Allows one to search cited references, like searching for an author or subject • Different types of searches: • Who is citing one’s work • Track research based upon an earlier paper • Identify sources of information used by competitors • Who is working in the same area of a given paper

  5. Source Record: Times Cited • Links to other source records that have correctly cited this paper • May not cover every citation of a paper in the WoS database

  6. Search for Dept. Output • Quick • General search • Address field • SAME • univ SAME tennessee SAME dept SAME (knoxville or 37996) • Look at abbreviations • May not cover all publications by a department
