CiteSeer
(also known as ResearchIndex)
ResearchIndex is a free, full-text index to the freely available research
articles on the web. This index is popular with computer scientists because
a great deal of the their literature is available this way, and because
ResearchIndex also provides citation analysis. Furthermore, while Web
of Science (the other citation database) doesn't index conference
papers (which are a mainstay in computer science), ResearchIndex does
(if the proceedings are on the web for free). It also offers reference
linking, extraction of citation context and related document detection.
And, similar to Amazon.com, it will show you documents that users who
viewed your document also looked at. The icing on the cake is that each
record even provides the BibTeX entry for the article for those using
that programming language to create their bibliographies.

societies. It searches the entire electronic libraries of the leading
voices in major science and technology disciplines and provides relevant
results, without the noise of other Internet search engines. You will
get to the content you need quickly without having to search each individual
society’s online library. More than three million documents, including
peer-reviewed journal content and technical conference papers, spanning
150 years of science and technology can be searched through the site.
- Web Of
Science (Science Citation Index) [UC Only]
1975-present. This is an index to scientific journal articles that also
allows you to search for citations to a particular article. You look
up the reference to an article that you know about to find more recent
journal articles that have cited it. Cited reference searching is a
unique way to trace ideas and subjects from past research into the present
day. Searchable by author, keyword, and cited reference. Unfortunately
this database does not cover conference literature. Because
there are a limited number of ports available, please be sure to logoff
when you are finished so that your connection can be made available
to someone else.
