Searching for Cited References in EBSCO

So you've found the perfect reference in an EBSCO database. Now what? Finding out where an author or article has been cited can be a great way to find more, and possibly even better, references.

To start, click Cited References at the top of EBSCO's search screen.












Here, you can search by author, title, source, date, or by all citation fields.

Choose a field and enter your search terms. We'll search by title.











After finding the right citation, check the box next to it and click "Find Citing Articles."













This will bring you to a list of articles that have cited the original reference.













That's all there is to it! Feel free to let us know what other tips for finding references you might have by leaving a comment.
