Related Records®

View a list of records that cite at least one document cited by the parent record identified at the top of the page. Related Records are ranked according to the number of references they share with the parent record.

The assumption behind Related Records searching is that articles that cite the same works have a subject relationship, regardless of whether their titles, abstracts, or keywords contain the same terms. The more cited references two articles share, the closer the subject relationship.

Related Records may be accessed from the Citation Network panel on the Full Record page or from a list of cited references.
