A number of disciplines, especially in the Social Sciences and the Arts & Humanities publish their research in books. These disciplines are not that well served by traditional tools that primarily focus on journal literature.
Listed below are a few strategies to gauging the scholarly impact of books and discovering cited references in books, while they are not perfect or comprehensive, they can help you collect some relevant data.
Also, some discipline-specific databases such as PsycINFO that also index books and book chapters will provide times cited information for books and chapters cited by other items indexed within those databases.
For help in using the resources highlighted in this guide, please request a research consultation with a reference librarian to discuss your specific needs.
