Search Strategies: Citation Mining

Citation Mining

Look at a good article's citations or references to find out more information. To do this:

  • Look at the reference list of your resources to find the sources that those authors used.
  • Find out who has cited your resources.
  • Find more resources written by the same author or published in the same journal.

Discovery

Use Discovery:

  • If you like a reference, some articles will include hyperlinks to those articles if Hofstra has access to it.
  • If no hyperlink is available, copy and paste the title and search for it via Discovery.

Enter keywords to search the library's catalog for full text electronic articles.
