Google Scholar: FINDING ARTICLES THAT HAVE CITED YOU

To find articles that have cited you,

  1. Start by clicking on drop down menu in the upper left hand corner  (the three horizontal bars) in order to access Advanced  Search options.
  2. Put your name into Return articles authored by search box.  Google suggests entering your name by putting quotation marks around your first initial(s) and last name (for instance, Debbi Smith would search for "D Smith" ) as the best way to start.  Use your full name if you are sure of how it appeared in your publications  (i.e., "Debbi A Smith").  Click  on the blue search icon.
  3. On the results page, look for the article you want to see citations for and click the number under the Cited by column  to see who cited the article in question. Note: If you don't see a Cited by link, Google was unable to find any articles that cited it.
  4. You'll see a list of results that have cited this article. Click on an article's title to see if there is a link to the full text of that article (or if you just want to go to a page with a more complete citation).
