Are you looking for a tool to keep track of who is citing your work? There are several databases that offer tools for authors to track cited publications.

SCOPUS  SCOPUS offers a Citation Tracker feature that allows for a listing of articles, web sources and patents that cite a particular publication since 1996. What makes SCOPUS one of the most powerful citation tracker databases is that SCOPUS indexes from over 16,000 journals. The Citation Tracker feature also allows for generation of a Citation Overview chart and for removal of self-citations from the overall citation counts. (subscription required)

Web of Knowledge/Web of Science  Web of Science offers a Cited Reference feature that provides the number of times a particular publication has been cited in the Web of Science database since its publication. According to Thomson, a Cited Reference Search will “. . . discover how a known idea or innovation has been confirmed, applied, improved, extended, or corrected.”  (Years of coverage for cited references will depend on your institution’s subscription) Web of Science also includes a Citation Map that allows for graphical representation of citation relationships up to two generations, forward or backwards. By using this tool, authors can analyze who is citing their work and the results can be sorted by author, year, journal title, article title, subject category, language, institution, and country.

PubMed Faceoff  PubMed Faceoff is a “mash-up” database that uses the MEDLINE database, SCOPUS and the eigenfactor of a journal, and provides a visualization technique using facial expressions to display citation impact factors for papers. It provides an expected citation count, the actual count and a percentile figure to demonstrate citation impact.

PsycINFO  PsycINFO offers a Cited References feature that provides a list of citations that cite a particular publication in the PsycINFO database. (subscription required)

GoogleScholar  Google Scholar allows for searching of a particular publication or by author and retrieves results from a variety of sources such as peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, meeting abstracts, web sites, gray literature, PPTs and other formats. The results include the number of times the publication was cited in other resources or where the author’s name is noted.
