One more useful resource for study in the classics:
- Web of Science This link opens in a new window[online resource; UCSB IP addresses only]
The Web of Science provides access to three important databases: the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975 to present), the Social Sciences Citation Index (1956 to present), and the Science Citation Index (1945 to present).
If you want to know who has cited an important article or book since its publication, go to the Web of Science and do a Cited Reference Search. Search for the author's last name and first initial, plus the date of publication - no more than this. DO NOT fill in the Cited Work (title) field.
