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

If you can find the paper on google scholar then it gives you the number of "cited by"
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
