Snowballing
Snowballing is a form of source discovery. Snowballing means to start with a source, and travel forwards and backwards in time with respect to citations. From this, one can find closely related papers to an original source without too much effort.
Snowballing has been found in the literature to be an efficient source of collecting relevant sources given a certain topic. One needs to find the first bit of snow (a good first resource), to start the snowball.
