Google Scholar covers a much broader range of subject areas than Web of Science, so it's a great place to check for citations of your work. Like all metrics tools, it is not comprehensive but it is a great tool to use in combination with other things!
To find articles that have cited you:
1. Go to the Advanced Search by clicking on the drop down arrow beside the search button.
2. Type your name into the "Return articles authored by" box.
3. On the results page, look underneath the article you want to see citations for and click the Cited By link. If there is no Cited By link, this means that Google was unable to find any citations of the article.
4. You'll see a list of results that have cited the article.
5. To receive email notifications when you are cited, click "create email alert" at the bottom of the results page for each article you've written. Fill out the quick form, and the search results will come to you!
