Data Bytes - Follow the Citation Trail: Citation Chaining Techniques and Tools for Research

Discover the power of citation chaining to elevate your research process! This hands-on workshop introduces advanced techniques for tracking scholarly conversations using both traditional library databases and innovative visualization tools.

What you'll learn:

  • Harness Scopus for comprehensive backward and forward citation searching
  • Explore the recommendations and visualizations of Research Rabbit
  • Map research landscapes with LitMaps
  • Uncover hidden connections in academic literature using Inciteful

Why it matters:
For graduate students and faculty alike, citation chaining is an invaluable skill that can:

  • Ensure comprehensive literature reviews
  • Identify emerging trends and key influencers in your field
  • Save time by efficiently mapping scholarly discourse
  • Discover unexpected connections between research areas

Note on Tool Accessibility:
We will primarily cover the free versions of these tools during the workshop. However, some tools may offer paid versions with additional features. Given the evolving nature of these technologies, the pricing models and availability of free versions may change. We'll discuss strategies for making the most of these tools regardless of their pricing structure.
