Finding similar articles from a cited article


Here is a method that should work well for finding aticles that relate to another article.

In this case there is an article on reserve:
Scannella, J. B., & Horner, J. R. (2010). Torosaurus Marsh, 1891, is Triceratops Marsh, 1889 (Ceratopsidae: Chasmosaurinae): synonymy through ontogeny. Journal Of Vertebrate Paleontology, 30(4), 1157-1168. doi:10.1080/02724634.2010.483632

The assignment is to find an article that cites or reviews this article.  After experimenting, the easiest way I found to do so was to do the following:
  1. Go to EBSCO Academic Search Premier
  2. Search for "Torosaursu Marsh 1891"
  3. Click on the title of this article
  4. Click the button "Find Similar Results"
  5. The first article listed in the article itself, the second one listed includes that article in its works cited.
Give it a try!
