Assessing Previously Published Articles or Publications on Your Topic

Consulting an article index in your field, or a citation index, for articles that have been previously published on your topic will help you to assess whether your information fills a void or offers a new perspective.

Citation Searching and Citation Analysis

Citation indexes indicate how many times an author, or a particular article, has been cited by other authors and can be useful in identifying experts in a field.
