Find Who Has Cited a Particular Author?

TOPIC: Another way to find an expert on a topic is to see how many times an author is cited by other researchers in the same subject area. SciSearch®: A Cited Reference Database (File 34,434) is a good source for cited references.

In this example we want to find out who and how many times Eric Badouel, whom we saw had written about petrinets (53709), has been cited by other authors.

COMMAND SUMMARY

BEGIN 34
VISUAL EXPAND CR=BADOUEL E
Check appropriate entries and click More for an additional list
TYPE S3/9/1

HOW TO...

1. BEGIN File 34, SciSearch, with coverage from 1990 to the present. 2. VISUAL EXPAND the cited author name (CR=) to see who has cited this author. Note that we don't know if we have checked all the appropriate entries for this author so we click the More button to see a further list. Note: A number of entries are omitted from this display.
3. Check boxes before additional appropriate entries to include all entries for this cited author. Then click the Select button.
Dialog automatically creates Search Sets (S1, S2) and combines them as “OR”ed.terms in the last Set. Note that you can narrow the search using keywords (e.g., s s3 and (petri()net? or petrinet?)
4. TYPE out records in Format 9 to see the cited references.
