Google Scholar and Citation Chaining

If you need to find scholarly articles on a topic, one way to do that is with citation chaining. Citation chaining is the process of taking one scholarly article that is relevant to your research interest, and using its citations to find additional relevant resources. This technique works best when you have already found at least one helpful source and would like to find more.
