# 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.
