Citation Chaining, finding additional databases
This video discusses a research strategy known as "citation chaining". This can be valuable when you have a number of relevant research articles but want to find additional articles on a similar topic. In this video we explore the idea of citation chaining backward as well as citation chaining forward.

The citation guide below links to resources from the guide, the APA Style blog as well as the OWL Purdue, which contains resources on in-text citation and the References page, as well as APA sample papers, slide presentations, and the APA classroom poster.
