CITED REFERENCE LOOKUP, Step 1 – Cited reference searching is a powerful feature of ISI Web of Science. With cited reference searching, you search for articles that cite an author or article that you specify. Cited reference searching is a two-step process: you first perform a lookup against the reference index, and then select references to search for articles that contain those references.

On the Lookup page (shown below), enter an author name, cited work, and/or cited year. Use wildcards (* to represent zero to many characters, ? for one character) for maximum retrieval. Your lookup will display a list of cited references containing the terms you entered (shown in Step 2).
