What is Citation Searching?
Citation Searching typically starts when you have a source in hand. Maybe your professor gave you the source or you found it in a database or Catalyst. Now you have a great source for your research, and you have a (potential) gold mine in that source's bibliography. You should also find out who has cited that source in the months/years since it was published.
