How do I use one source to find other sources?
Answer
Scholarly pieces and academic books will generally have a reference list at the end of the text that lists all the sources that the piece used to come to its conclusions and used to gather the required information for the piece.
If the piece was already relevant to your research, the sources used for it should also be relevant and useful for you, but you may not have found it in your first search due to a difference in terminology.
Doing this is one of the easiest ways to find other relevant sources, as it provides a literal list, though do be sure to confirm that the original piece is relevant.
