A citation is a reference to a source. More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledgement. The Download Citation feature allows users to download all citing articles from a scholarly or patent search.

Citations counts are indicated below the title and biblio information of a scholarly or patent result. In an individual scholarly work or patent you have a toolbar on the summary tab which includes the Download Citation button.
How to Use
