Web of Science (available through the CWU Library web page under the database section)
In contrast to most search engines, Web of Science has the ability to search for all articles that have cited a particular article. This allows the user to 'look forward' through time to search for more recent articles on a particular topic. In addition, the Web of Science can also conduct a standard search using search terms but list them in order of the number of times the article has been cited. This is one way of identifying particularly important articles (one marker of 'important articles' are ones that are cited by many other researchers; however, recently published articles might be very important but haven't been out long enough to have been cited by many other researchers).
