EBSCO has added powerful new Citation and Reference tools in EBSCOhost to help you depend your research and better understand the scholarly impact of a work.

The Cited by feature shows how many times an article has been referenced by other scholarly works. This will help you:

  • See how influential an article is in the academic community.
  • Discover related works and build a strong literature review. 

Citation counts are generated from the EBSCO Scholarly Graph, which pulls data from EBSCO, major publishers, and trusted data partners. Citation links are created when title-author matches identify that a work has been cited in other research. 

An article from the EBSCO results that shows that other researchers cited it 19 times.

The References features shows you the list of works that the author cited in the original article. This will help you:

  • Identify research the author used.
  • Quickly explore related sources. 

When a work's DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is available, EBSCO check its Scholarly Graph for reference links. If matches are found, they'll be displayed under the “References” tab on the articles detail page. 

A lists of references from an article listed on its details page.
