 Hello again, so in this video I'm going to be talking a little bit about how you can use one article to leverage your way into finding some other articles that might be related to your topic and this is Something that where it's just for fun I like to call it time travel with an article because if you think about an article as sort of a snapshot in time around a Particular topic in this case. I'm looking at the nose comma comial bloodstream infections and I have that Being talked about in this particular article I'm going to be able to find other articles that have cited it plus I can use the reference list in order to leverage my Way into other sources now the tool that I'm going to be using in this process is Google scholar so it's scholar google.com or you can Google your way to Google scholar as well and So the reason why I'm going to be using Google scholars because it's really good at doing that cited article activity and finding other sources that are Being cited by different ones, but if you're coming at Using Google scholar from off-campus. You're going to want to connect it to the library subscription resources So that it'll get you into those whenever we have access to something so in order to do that if you go to the bars and Then you go to where's the settings and don't get confused by the my library because that that could kind of make you think That that's where the library stuff is but go into settings and then go to where it says library links And then search for ww. Make sure you tick the box next to the correct ww because there are a couple of them out there Click save and now in your browser whenever you go to google scholar Is going to try and connect you to our subscription resources along the way So going back to the article that I had just a moment ago I um since this article is a little bit on the older side, so it was published in 2004 I want to see what other articles maybe have cited this because it's On that older side and I want to find stuff that's more current because that's oftentimes a good idea when it comes to medical related research, so I'm going to go ahead and put the title of the article I'm going to copy and paste that into a search And then when I search for it, I'm probably going to find an instance of that article coming up So here's the article that I was just looking at but now I want to be finding the other sources that have cited this particular source One of the other things is that this Approach can be a really useful way to determine sort of the impact that an article has had Because you can see how many other people have chosen to cite that source And so in this case, there are 3813 other Articles or papers out there or books that have chosen to cite this particular source. That's that's sort of notable That's uh, that's uh Kind of makes you you know pay attention to it So if I want to find all those extra sources Then I can follow that link and it's going to get me to a lot of those extra sources In this case, it does mean that it's a pretty big range of sources to be looking at So that can be one challenge to kind of uh to work with with so I can Search within the citing articles if I wanted to so I could get a little bit more specific Because uh google scholar does not provide me with a lot of tools in order to do my Focusing I don't have anything in terms of subject terms to build in the relevancy like I normally would with an academic research project I could limit by a particular date range. So the things that are a little bit more common since 2014 then that may be a useful way to do it So you do have a couple of different options But again, not as much as you might have in some of the other databases But then you can get those good leads to find uh the sources too And so if I have access uh, it's going to indicate that a couple different ways But if it's coming through the western library subscriptions, then I'm going to see that find it at w w showing up on the right hand side But this is also a way in which you can find some uh free versions of pdf's that are also available On the sort of open web Now I can take a very similar approach here by mining the reference list if I want to go backwards in time and find articles that um that have been cited in here So let's say I wanted to just go ahead and go with this uh this older article here I can copy and paste it over Oftentimes what you're going to find is you're going to get some strange line breaks that come in with some of the pdf's so you want to fix some of that and Get that figured out Especially if it's a scan pdf like I was just using But google scholar can be pretty helpful at getting focused I oftentimes like to use author names as a way to get more focused too because those are um oftentimes very specific And so then once I find the source that I'm looking for or sometimes this gives you some other interesting leads as well Then that's where I have my access links over on the right hand side that will actually get me to the article that I want itself
