Citing in computing science: Who is citing who?

Doing a cited reference search in science and engineering answers the question: who has cited a particular author or paper? Knowing this can help you find related papers to the one you have, and help determine how well-known a particular author or paper is in a field.

Also, see the Guide: Cited Reference Searching: Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The main database that offers cited reference search is Web of Science.
