Ah yeah that's a good one too. Funny, one could say that this is a good way of finding interesting information, while also finding methods of finding interesting information.
neat when find a reference to things related/outside of project scope.
more detailed, but following the bibliography chain also can give the equivalent of a change log history.
with the idea of, "hey, noone took this fork in the road because <insert issue(s) at time of publication>. currently though, the <issues aka missing/way to complex at the time/to costly/more supporting research needed> are reasonable/not unsurmountable."
lot of thesis papers / projects are "proof of concept"
Changelog is a good analogy. It would be nice if crawling, building a graph, and extracting some information was more straight forward and didn't involve so many paid platforms, PDFs, varying reference standards, with also a fairly high dependency on a search engine to find referenced papers. It's still not quite so easy to just "click through" and "Ctrl + F".
search engines are about as easy as it gets, at least as far as searching for available things.
searching on library of congress id for published works about the only thing worse than a google site dump.
certainly a step up from library index cards, microfiche, and/or writing a snail mail letter to a university department for list of deparment thesis papers.
Comments
check out the bibliography section / resources used for a project/paper/work (on-line & offline)
univeristies publically publish thesis papers / technical reports / project documentation. A bibliography is a required feature of published stuff!
also magazines / trade organizations (ieee, acm, etc)
