4. Quoting your results

To evaluate your search results, you can use the "Citation Overview" function in the top right-hand corner of the module, which offers a citation-based analysis. As shown in the screenshot below, you'll get a breakdown of citations on the articles included in your initial search results, over a given period of time.

This is how you'll be able to identify the years in which your search results were most cited, how the citation evolves over time, and so on.

If your initial search is an author search, to optimize the rigor of your expertise, you can exclude self-citations by checking the "Exclude from citation overview, Self citation of selected author" menu.
