Many library databases let you start with a known document (for example, a journal paper) and generate references it cites and/or documents published later in time that cite it.
Benefits:
Contact a librarian to identify relevant databases and setting up email alerts for citing literature. Some starting points:
Links to PDFs when available; excellent for finding specific articles or books.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature across many disciplines and sources. (Note: To maximize access to Lehigh resources, when in Google Scholar, go to Settings, then Library links. Type in Lehigh University and select the check box next to “Lehigh University - Lehigh Links.” If we do not subscribe to an article, this setting will enable a Lehigh Link to obtain the article via other access or interlibrary loan.)
Electrical, electronic, and computer engineering journals and conferences from the IEEE and IET; full text. Also includes IEEE standards.
Helps find current articles that cite earlier work. Covers STEM, social sciences, & arts and humanities. Has an emerging sources citation index. Useful for identifying review articles Note: Web of Science generally does not include conference proceedings in search results.
Indexes, abstracts and provides selective full-text for a broad spectrum of magazines, journals and newspapers.

Review articles give a high-level overview of a specific research topic. They can also contain useful bibliographies/works cited lists.
Some research databases, like Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed, allow you to perform a search then limit the results to only show review articles.
One publisher, Annual Reviews, publishes only review articles. Try searching their Web platform (listed below) for your topic.
