## Find additional literature with references and citations

Have you found an interesting publication? Use this publication to find additional literature.

At the end of a scientific article, you will find a list of references, also known as a bibliography. This is an overview of the literature used in the article. You can search this list of references for additional literature. References are always older publications.

The number of citations for an article is listed in the search results in the database and indicated by ‘Citations’ or ‘Cited by’. This indicates how often the article has been cited in more recent publications. Click on ‘Citations’ or ‘Cited by’ to view the list of publications. This may include publications that are relevant and more recent.

    Article example in Google Scholar

    Example of the same article in Scopus

The same article has more citations in Google Scholar than in Scopus. This is because articles must meet certain quality requirements before they are included in the Scopus database. Google Scholar automatically searches for scientific publications on the web and also finds (non peer reviewed) preprints, research reports, and the like.
