CSA lists these uses for cited reference searches:Citations to Faculty Publications The following tool can be used to find bibliographic references to published works (books, chapters, articles, etc.) by faculty and students. CSA lists these uses for cited reference searches:

    a) locating current research based on earlier research, reports, etc.
    b) finding how many times and where a publication is being cited
    c) identifying who is referencing a particular paper
    d) exploring how a particular research topic is being used to support other research
    e) analyzing the impact of a publication on other research in the field
    f) tracking the history of a research idea
    g) tracking the research of colleagues, or keeping track of your own research

    The database contains cited references in the Social Sciences from 1956 to the present; in the Humanities, from 1975 to the present; and in the Sciences, from 1955 to the present. It is best to simultaneously search all three (which is the default). Use the "Cited Reference Search" to find articles that cite an author or work and obtain a comprehensive bibliography of the author's works: articles, books, communications, proceedings papers, etc. Searches may also lead to related records and articles with citations in common. For instructions, click on "Information for New Users." Results may be printed, saved to a text file, exported in a delimited format for import into personal bibliographic programs such as EndNote or ProCite, or may be sent via email.
