Following the Citation Trail

Finding who has cited a particular article has always been useful in the process of research. We have two database collections that do just that: CSA and now ProQuest. If an article has been cited in other articles, a "Cited By" link will appear, allowing you to link to the other articles.
ProQuest recently added this feature and there are two reasons why this feature is so useful.
-A heavily cited article in a given field is proven to be influential and important.
-The "cited by" link gives you access to more articles which may be related to your topic.

Author Searching in CSA

When you are searching for works by a particular author in CSA, keep in mind that there are often variants on names.
For example, if you are looking for the works by Elizabeth Targ, you might need to look under Targ, E. and Targ, Elizabeth. Some names have more variants.
In CSA, you can search the Author Index for more name variants, so that you don't miss any.
To get to the Author Index, once you are on the CSA search page, click on Search Tools, then click on the Indexes Tab. From the pull-down menu, click on the Author Index for the database you want to search. Type in the name variants - last name, first name - and check each one you want to include. Then click on the search button at the left. This will create a search that accomodate all the variants you have found.
