solution


ask the DscD for the names of the authors and the place where they mention, e.g. the articles of Schmucker and Hinske respectively.

1st. Click the respective yellow magnifier to obtain access to the search form.

2nd. Next, start:

the advanced searching of references to any page. For example: Page 101 of the mentioned article, selecting the parameter "page", filling with "101" on the blank corresponding to the same and clicking the yellow magnifier.



Following these steps, you will gain access to the respective list of references to page 101 belonging to Schmucker's article:



Of the approximately 10 records of references that point to page 101, the first includes a reference in the second paragraph found on page 321 of an article by Norbert Hinske. What's more, if you wish to know who has quoted this page, you only have to click the yellow magnifier:



The result of clicking the yellow magnifier is:



That clicking repeatedly on the respective magnifiers, the platform will create an authentic network to locate textual places of possible interest. Through this network, the researcher may see the objective influence that a text has had through time or the matter of a discussion about a theme.

Due to the fact that it is a network, it is not necessary (but nevertheless possible) to access repeatedly the initial search form. In effect it is a network because the DscD platform automatically joins the space occupied by a text in a document with another (included in the same document or in another).
