Google Scholar also provides citation information. The cited numbers may be duplicates of what is provided in Web of Science. Google Scholar also includes some book chapters, conference proceedings, and other documents which aren't included in Web of Science.
(Google Scholar sometimes duplicates citations leading to inaccurate numbers. It is still a good way to find similar articles and to get a general idea of citation numbers, especially for items not in Web of Science.)
Using the Google Scholar advanced search form, and searching for the same article provides this:
The cited by numbers are the same as in Web of Science. Usually, the cited numbers from Web of Science and Google Scholar are different.
This is a great way to find more articles related to the article you found!
Citation searching is the process of going both backward and forward in time to learn about the works that influenced an author (by looking at who they cited) and who the author themselves influenced (by looking at who cited them).
Web of Science is still recognized as the first place to go when you are looking for citation information (especially for scientific disciplines). You can perform citation searching and create citation reports. See the Web of Science guide for more information.
The Web of Science Citation Reports feature provides a bar chart, times cited information, and more.
When you search Web of Science, each article in the results list will have "Times Cited" information. Click on the blue number next to Times Cited to see a list of the journal articles that cite the original article.
