Welcome. This session will introduce you to cited reference or citation searching as a tool for research. We will focus on using the Web of Science for this, with a brief reference to Scopus. This is followed by journal citation reports, particularly journal impact factors using ISI Journal Citation Reports to identify highly cited journals in a particular field.
