Citation mining is when you use a relevant book or article to find more resources on the same topic.
You can find related resources in two different ways:
- Use an author's name to find more resources written by that author.
- Find the items that your resource references.
How to Mine for Citations:
- Use the reference list of an article or book to find another potential source.

- Search the author's name in OneSearch for USA Libraries. Make sure to write the surname first and to select the "Author" button.
