What is a citation index?
Citation indexes allow searching of journal articles by author, subject term, and journal title, like other indexes. The difference is in the ability to search the cited reference list or bibliographies of the journal articles. This enables a searcher to find the articles cited by journal article author (the historical origin of the article) and the articles that are citing this particular journal article (current impact in the research literature of this article). It also permits the comparison of reference lists to find articles that share common sources.
