I also wonder how I could develop a program that will track which studies are being looked at when an article is written about spay/neuter. For example the above study could not have included the 250 Golden Retreiver study just released late last year/early this year nor the Viszla study from 2014. |
If you use Google Scholar as your search engine (scholar.google.com), all of the articles will either be peer reviewed, or they will be books or chapters from textbooks, or they will be patents that have been reviewed by the US Patent Office.
The only sure way to figure out if an article has considered the research reported in a previous article is to look at the references section at the end of the article and see if the previous article is cited there. If you haven't used Google Scholar yet, give it a spin. You will be amazed at what you will find!
