In the case noted below, the article being cited is:
Huber M, Knottnerus JA, Green L, van der Horst H, Jadad AR, Kromhout D, Leonard B, Lorig K, Loureiro MI, van der Meer JW, Schnabel P, Smith R, van Weel C, Smid H. How should we define health? BMJ. 2011 Jul 26;343:d4163. doi:10.1136/bmj.d4163. PubMed PMID: 21791490
When the Find Citing Articles link is used, it will open a new screen and report the number of times cited with the list of citing references.
In this example, there are 13 results; only the first two results are shown.
Please note, however, that these citing references are only those that are available from within the full-text resources to which your institution subscribes. The number of citing references may change depending upon the agency through which you search Medline OvidSP and the materials they have licensed.
Also note that the number of citing articles is not static; the numbers may grow over time.
