Instant Lit. Review

ISI Web of Science has released a beta "Citation Map" feature which graphically displays all references in a given article as well as subsequent citations of the same article. The picture to the left is a screenshot of Nina Eliasoph and Paul Lichterman's AJS article "Culture in Interaction." The left side of the ellipses contains all citations made by the authors and the right side is all articles in which they are subsequently cited. The unique feature of ISI is that one can click on any reference in the map and pull up the full citation record (and create separate maps for this citation).
