Finding articles that cite each other is sometimes called "citation chaining" and is a good strategy for finding out what researchers are saying about a topic. Once you have found an article that is relevant to your research, there are several tools that will help you find additional ones.
1. Search Google Scholar for your article. Below the article, you will see a link to Cited by and the number of times the article has been cited by others. In other words, this feature pulls together all of the articles that make reference to your article, giving you an idea of how other researchers have used this publication. Clicking the link will take you to all of those sources.
The number of times an article has been cited by others MAY be an indication of its impact on a topic, but realize that for very recent articles, there may not be many publications that have cited it yet. Make note of when your article was published.
Next to Cited by is a link to Related articles. These are articles that Google Scholar is suggesting may be of interest to your, based on its internal algorithms.
