Number of citations for a source

[bbullock]

I would like to know the number of citations for each of my sources. I've looked but can find no obvious way. Is there any way to find this ?

Thanks,
Bob

Select Sources on the LH side of Reunion. On the RH side, double-click the source in question. At the bottom of the Source that opens, select "Show citations to source #xxx

There are two different ways to see a listing of citations for each source...

1. Choose Lists > Citations and select Who: All People and Include: All Sources. It helps with counting them if they are sorted by the Source # (Src#) column.

2. Choose Lists > Sources (or open the Sources sidebar on the right side of the Reunion window) and select "Create Usage Report for all Sources" from the Source tools menu icon (the hammer) at the bottom of the Sources list window (or sidebar). Then, open the report in your word processor.

I hope you find one of these suggestions helpful in determining the number of citations for each cited source

Thank you for the responses. Unless I'm missing something, each of these methods gives me a list of the citations. What I would like to know is how many times a source has been cited without having to actually count the citations. For example, when I look at the people column on the right, I see a number that tells me how many people I have in my database. I was hoping there might be something comparable to tell me how many citations there are for any selected source.

Click on the 'Src#' column header at the top of the Citations list to sort sort the list by source number, then click on the Share button at the bottom of the window and open the report in your text editor. The report will give you the citation counts.

Thanks Gregg. Prepared the report and it indicated the number of citations. A long way to go to find the number.
