Introduction to Citation Tracking

Types of Citation Tracking


Backward Snowballing (Reference List Searching)

Backward snowballing involves looking backwards in the literature to discover past resources. It involves mining the selected relevant article's reference list for other articles that might be relevant to the research topic.

 

Forward Snowballing
(Cited By Searching) 

Forward snowballing means looking forward in the literature to articles that were published after the selected relevant article to discover newer articles that have cited the original resource.
