Use Google Scholar to Find Useful "Cited by" Articles

While reviewing the References of a relevant article is a powerful way to find earlier (older) research connected to your relevant article - it is also possible to look at research connected to your article that was published more recently and that cites your relevant article.

 

Review the "Cited by" Options

Finding related research conducted after your relevant article was published.

 

Another easy way to locate additional research connected to a particularly relevant article is to paste the title of the relevant article into Google Scholar and then click on the "Cited by" option that appears beneath the Google Scholar record for your relevant article.

 

Suppose you found the article  "To Stay or Quit: A Review of the Literature on Correctional Staff Turnover" by E.G. Lambert was very useful for your project. Copy and paste this title into Google Scholar.

Paste the title of a relevant article into Google Scholar. Then click on the Cited by option underneath the record for that article to view related articles that were published after your relevant article.

 

 

After clicking on "Cited by" you can either browse the articles that cited your relevant article ...

... or you can check the box "Search within citing articles" and type a word, words, or phrase in the "Search citing articles" search bar. This will allow you to search all 182 of the articles for those words.

After clicking on Cited by you can either browse or search the articles that cited your relevant article

 

 

If Google Scholar does not provide access to the article (in this case it does), paste the title in the library discovery system OneSearch. If neither Google Scholar nor OneSearch provide access to the article - request it through interlibrary loan.
