Citation Trail on the Brief display in Primo New UI
Our users miss the Citation trail on the brief display in the New UI.
eg "when researching a new subject one strategy is to look for articles that have a number of citations. This helps to find those articles that are cited a lot and so are especially significant within a domain and also allows a way to quickly expand reading to cover other relevant articles. Having the citations appear on the results list therefore helps to identify such articles without having to click through each one in turn, making searches more efficient.
I am doing my MSc dissertation research at the minute and and I am using the old library system in this way and for this exact reason. I do think re-instating citations within the results list is therefore a good idea."
In the New UI the citation trail is only visible in the full details view.
Thank you for posting this, this was done in Q1 of 2019.

IE folks,
Now that this update has occurred I think more persons will have questions about this functionality.
Can we get a little bit more information on where the articles that have this functionality are pulling this information from? And what determines whether or not certain articles have this functionality?
In addition, it would be nice if, a) you could hover over it and see the results without clicking, and b) you could easily get back to where you were in the list of search results (like when you click the link of an article title and then close that view). Is that do-able?Thank you,

Agreed, they should be merged.

There is possibility that users will not go to the Full Display view even if they are interested in the article as there is a “Full text available” link at the Brief Display view which can bring them directly to SFX and then to the article.
Hence, they may not get to see the Citation link at the Full Display view.
