⚡ THE RESEARCH TRICK MOST STUDENTS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF
It is called citation chaining - life changing research method
#useful

When you find one genuinely useful paper, don't just read it and move on. Do two things:
1️⃣scroll to the reference list at the end. Every source that paper cited is a potentially relevant paper you haven't found yet. Go find those. Then check their references too. You can map an entire field starting from a single paper.

2️⃣go to Google Scholar, find your paper, and click "Cited by." This shows every paper published after it that referenced it. That's how you find the most recent research building on older foundational work.

❓ Why this beats a regular keyword search:
A basic search only shows what an algorithm thinks is relevant. Citation chaining shows what actual researchers in the field considered important enough to reference. Completely different quality of results.
