Did you know that you can use the Social Sciences Citation Index to identify articles that cite a particular article? Whenever you need to find out what has been written on a given topic since the time of an important publication, the SSCI is the tool to use. Contact me or any of the other reference librarians for tips on searching the SSCI, which you can access from the library’s databases page.
For those of you who are pros at searching the SSCI, did you know that you can set up an email- or RSS alert to let you know when new articles are added to the database and that match your criteria? For example, you could receive alerts every time a particular work or researcher is cited, or every time an individual publishes a new article, or the contents of new issues of a journal central to your work.
