Citation Indexes are a key research tool, providing access to multidisciplinary information from high impact research journals. They allow you to use an existing reference to:
navigate backward in time using Cited References to find the research that underpinned an author's work
navigate forward in time using Times Cited to discover the impact of research
find related papers
analyse search results
personalise preferences and settings
set up search alerts and citation alerts
create custom journal lists
Cited reference searching is a fast and efficient way of finding information relating specifically to your research. Access to UTAS citation indexes is available through the following databases: Scopus & Web of Knowledge.
The Web of Knowledge compilation database includes the following databases critical to research: Web of Science: Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index; Current Contents Connect; and Journal Citation Reports.
Another source of citation information is Google Scholar.
