The video, Cited Reference Searching, gives a brief description of this searching option within the Web of Science database and its advantages; the run time is under 7 minutes.

Described in the video is the ability to find documents that cite books, conference proceedings, patents, and newspaper and journal article citations.  The video also explains how references can be found even if the authors cite them incorrectly (e.g. wrong volume #’s or page #’s).  These are referred to as “citation variants.”
