How to do your own experiments in psychology and education
2b(4). Search for related articles
Any Basic or Advanced search in PsycINFO will provide you with a list of matching articles. Not all of them will be relevant. When you have found an article in PsycINFO that is relevant – let's call it the “target article” for now – you can look for other articles that are related to it.
Other articles that mention your target article and other articles that your target article refers to are all good candidates for relevant research. PsycINFO helps you find these items that are related to your target article, in two ways:
• It provides links to the earlier articles that appear in the reference list of your target article – the “cited references”
• It provides links to later articles that mention your target article in their reference lists – the “citing articles”
