Search engine INSPEC to find some physics papers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using the INSPEC search engine to locate physics papers and the challenge of determining the number of citations for those papers. One participant seeks assistance in finding citation counts, indicating awareness that there is a method to do so but is unsure how to proceed. Another contributor clarifies the distinction between needing citations within a paper versus citations of the paper itself. They suggest checking the end of the paper for internal citations and recommend using the Science Citation Index or Google Scholar to find external citation counts, as Google Scholar provides a "cited by" feature that can be helpful.

I'm using the search engine INSPEC to find some physics papers that I need. The problem is that I need to know the number of citations but can't find this anywhere. I know there is a way of finding them, but I just can't work out how. If anyone knows, I'd be very grateful :D

You need to know the number of citations OF that paper, or IN that paper? If you need to find them IN the paper, just look at the end of the paper and count. :rolleyes: I don't know what that search engine is or how it works, but if you need to find the number of citations OF a paper, have you tried Science Citation Index?
 


If you can find the paper on google scholar then it gives you the number of "cited by"
 

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
