Reference Lists, Citing Articles, Citation Export, and Indexing Partners
Reference Lists
Reference lists from articles in Optics InfoBase are displayed on the abstract page of each article, when available. Reference lists are free to the public for open-access articles (e.g., for Optics Express articles). References are hyperlinked to other articles within Optics InfoBase and out to external articles through CrossRef DOIs.
Citing Articles (Forward Linking)
OSA is able to provide readers links to other articles that cite an Optics InfoBase article through CrossRef's Forward Linking service. See the Citing Article tab on article abstract pages. In addition to listing OSA journal articles that cite a given paper, citing articles from other participating publishers are also listed.
Citation Export
OSA now offers reference export to popular reference management software formats. Items selected from a table of contents page, abstract page, or search results in InfoBase or in an OSA online journal can be exported to BibTeX (see OSA guidelines for submitting LaTeX), RIS (see our templates page for EndNote style), Rich Text, or Plain Text format.
CrossRef, PubMed, Google Scholar, etc.
