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"
