Another Google Hack

There is an easy way to search for books whose authors use journal citations.

Go to books.google.com and type in the name of a journal in the search engine such as "Environmental Health Perspectives". The name of the journal has to be uncommon. If the name of the journal is a common name such "Nature" or "Science" then the hack would not work. Use advanced books search engine to specify the date of publication, language, publisher, subject, keywords, etc.

When this hack is performed the search engine gives results for books thar have the journal cited. Here is a link that can serve as an example for the search query.
