If you need assistance with performing an in-depth cited reference search, contact your Librarian Specialist or Science Librarian, Robert Klapthor. 

Besides tracking the impact factors for journals, academic institutions often rely on citation analysis for hiring, tenure and funding decisions.  Citation analysis investigates both how many times an article is cited and who is citing the article.
