Citation Searching Assumed subject relevancy between the original paper and the references that paper cites e.g. POPULATION-DYNAMICS OF WHITE-TAILED DEER (ODOCOILEUS-VIRGINIANUS) ON THE WELDER WILDLIFE REFUGE, TEXAS by KIE JG; 1985 – If we look up the list of references at the end of Kie’s article they may be useful --but the problem is that they will all be older than 1985….. And I want current articles on the topic? – So I can look for articles since 1985 who “cited” Kie’s article by doing a “citation search” – And we find the latest article was published in 2011
