Cited Reference Search: Step 1 of 2

Search for records that have cited a published work. All successful searches are added to the Search History table.

We recommend users search terms in the language of the local interface language they select. For example, if you select the Arabic language, type search terms in Arabic. Your search results may not always be accurate when you combine two different language (e.g., English and Arabic).

For advanced search, you can use field tags, Boolean characters, and wildcards. However, as you type in the advanced search field, the local language dictates how field tags, Boolean characters, wildcards display in the field.

For example, in the Arabic local interface, if you type #1 OR #3 in the advanced search field, the text displays: OR #1 #3 and will return the correct results based on #1 OR #3.

Note: Author and publication source name search aids are always in English regardless of the selected local interface language.

Search Tips

Enter only the family name of the cited author. For example: Chen.

In the Cited Work field, enter an abbreviated title of the publication or the first one or two significant words of the title followed by an asterisk (*) wildcard (for example: microbiol*). Look up abbreviations for cited works in the Cited Work search aid or the Journal Abbreviations index.
