Scopus offers the capability to search the list of cited references in articles, books, and other resources. If the reference you are using is really relevant to your research, it is likely that other related publications have cited references that are also pertinent. Cited reference searching serves as a valuable addition to traditional keyword searches.
Once you have searched your results, you can sort them by Cited by (highest). Remember, just because an article has been cited a high number of times does not mean that it is the best article on the topic - it may just be that it is older and has had more time to be cited or people were citing it as criticism. You can then click on the number in the Citations column to see who has referenced that article. You can then refine and sort those articles as you could your original results.
