Locating Who Cited Your Work

JSTOR

JSTOR is a digital archive of complete backfiles for 360 core scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. JSTOR has a moving wall policy which means that the content will always be 2-5 years behind the current issue. You can locate who is citing your work in JSTOR by searching for your works in the reference pages of articles.
This example uses the citation of  Renteln, A .D (1988). Relativism and the search for human rights. American Anthropologist, New Series, 90, 1, pp. 56-72.
