<Search Tips> How to find References listed in an article?
 

There are a lot of clues in an article.

A Title or an Author of book are efficient for searching.
If there are too many results, please limit them with additional key words (e.g. a publication year.)  

In a case of serials, A title of serial is only effective.

<Search Tips> A useful access key for searching: ISBN and ISSN

ISBN (International Standard Book Number)
A ten digit-number
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)
An eight digit-number

This number is given per a title.
So this is very effective key word.
