Find a great article?
Find out who has cited it.
Copy the title and search it in Google Scholar.
Click on "cited by" to see who else has used the article...and what they used it for. (If it hasn't been cited much, it might not be the most important article in the area.)
You can also click on "related articles" to see others similar to the original you searched. THEN, look these up in the database to ensure you're getting the published version.
