Citation Studies in the Humanities
This work examines prospects and limitations of citation studies in the humanities. We begin by presenting an overview of bibliometric analysis, noting several barriers to applying this method in the humanities.

This tool reports the bibliographic information about each reference, as well as three features about its context(s): frequency, location-in-document, and polarity.
