                                      ABSTRACT

Apart  from the common cry of 'publish   or perish', academics  are confronted  with an
additional pressure to show where  their work has been  cited. This is partly to overcome
the claim that academic  writing is only for academia's blinkered ivory tower existence.
Unfortunately, there exists irony in that many refereed journal articles are often only read
by other academics,  whereas  many  non-refereed  journal articles might be more widely
read by  relevant practitioners working in the article's field of study. Practitioners are
often  the  individuals, groups  or  organisations  that  help  fund  universities with
contribution made  towards professorial chairs, lecture theatres or libraries, for example.1

Given the nature of this research topic, parts of this paper are written in essay style from
the perspective of the author. The ultimate aim of this paper is to illustrate the myriad of
sources which  can be  used to assist academics in identifying where  their publications
have been  cited, both within refereed journals and non-refereed journals and practitioner
journals as  well as elsewhere.  Accordingly,  this paper  provides many   examples   of
searches  conducted  by the author with a particular emphasis  on taxation publications.
The  limitations concerning  numerous publications and electronic sources are also
highlighted.
