The term “see also” is used in a variety of contexts, but it most commonly refers to a citation signal that directs the reader to additional sources of information on a particular topic. In legal writing, “see also” is used to cite to sources that provide additional support for a statement after primary supporting sources have already been cited. In general writing, “see also” may be used not as a signal for supporting sources, but as a way to suggest other ideas that may be of interest to the reader because of their similarity to the discussion at hand.
