My topic is about the change in technology use and how far covid has jumpstarted the process of moving to a more digital future. I also am diving into how this rapid change has caused problems.

Subject Term: forecasting

I then ran the subject term search “forecasting” through the database limited to peer-reviewed, full text, and between the years 2020-21. It returned 721 results which were too many. I then added boolean and “technology,” which brought back 237 results. I then added another boolean and “remote,” which brought back 24 results. All of the results turned back were utterly useless for my topic. I need to figure out a better way of differentiating between forecasting weather forecasting technology.

Citation Trace

Stiles, J., Smart, M.J. Working at home and elsewhere: Daily work location, telework, and travel among United States knowledge workers. Transportation 48, 2461–2491 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-020-10136-6

I found the article in Springer Link. The article references 42 other references. A good handful of articles look like it would be beneficial for me to look into from the article’s references.

Through cross-referencing, Springer brought back four articles that reference the article. Each of the articles that cited the source is from another county besides the United States, so the cross-reference in this particular database wasn’t useful. I then used Google Scholar to see if it would bring back additional sources. It brought back nine sources but again, each of the articles was from another country.

For this particular citation trace, I am able to find more valuable references pertaining to my topic in the original article citations than using cross-referencing. I plan on looking into several of the articles that the source cited to help gather additional information.
