Citation Trace

One of the most powerful ways to locate useful information is to find one solid source and then follow the scholarly conversation by tracking down the books and articles it cites. You can also trace citations forward in time by searching for a source and using citation tools such as:

"Times Cited in this Database" link in PsycINFO
"Cited by..." link in Google Scholar

Articles

Psychological Science & General

Annual Review of Psychology
Offers review articles on topics in the field. These sort out the published research on a topic, discuss it, and provide references. A good overview of what's going on in the field for the topics covered.
Google Scholar
This search engine points toward scholarly research rather than all Web-based sources. It is stronger in the sciences than in the humanities, with social sciences somewhere in between. One interesting feature of Google Scholar is that in includes a link to sources that cite a particular item. Not all of the articles in Google Scholar are free; the library can obtain many of them for you through Interlibrary loan.
