Forward Citation Tracing with Google Scholar

Learn how to use Google Scholar to trace forward article networks.

Semantic Scholar

Unlike Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar identifies citations where the cited publication has a significant impact on the citing publication.

Find a Specific Article

Do you have a citation, and need to track down the full text of the article itself?

Select a heading below for instructions on DOI search, WorldCat Discovery, and Google Scholar, and a search box to get you started.

A DOI, or Digital Object Identifier, is a string of numbers and letters used to permanently identify an article or document on the web, usually including the number 10 followed by a period. This information can often be found near the article citation on publishers' websites. If you have an article DOI, you can use this identifier to quickly check for full-text access or initiate your ILL request.

  1. Copy the string beginning with 10. and everything to the right.

    Example:

  2. Append DOI to the "info:doi/" in the box below and click the Search button.

    Example: info:doi/10.1108/02640470610689151

  3. Click Search, then Request through Interlibrary Loan button on the resulting search results page, if applicable.

When searching WorldCat Discovery with the scope set to "Libraries Worldwide," you can find records for articles not directly accessible through the library's subscriptions. To request these materials, click the red "Request through Interlibrary Loan" button on the item detail page.

Enter an article title in the search box below to search Libraries Worldwide.
