Google Scholar: Using "Cited By"

Instructions and tutorials for using Google Scholar, and connecting a Google account to the OSU Library to access full-text articles and other resources.

Using "Cited By"

The Cited by link under the Google Scholar citation is another way to expand your search and find more relevant articles.  When you click on the Cited by link, you will find other publications that cite the article.

You can also search within the publications that cite the article. Select the checkbox that says "Search within citing articles" and add additional terms to narrow your search.
