Citing references
More and more databases are adding cited references to their content; however, Web of Science and Google Scholar remain the primary sources available through the USF Libraries. There will be overlap between the databases but it pays to check each source since they all tend to have unique cited items. In addition, many of the larger journal publishers have now added citing references to their online article pages.
