Citation searches: forward chaining
In Citation indexes, you can check which articles cite a particular publication. When doing this, you are searching ahead in time: the literature that cites the particular publication is always more recent than the publication itself.
This is therefore a good way of finding recent, relevant literature. In many databases, it is possible to click the link to an overview of a publication’s cited references.
Example
In this article from Business Source Premier on Global Consumer Innovativeness and under the heading Times Cited in this Database, you will find five articles citing this article.
