Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss databases with 
cited references.
Design/methodology/approach - The paper considers the dimensions of cited 
reference enhanced database subsets.

Findings - The typical database has the ski slope shape, as there is a 
fairly steady, gradual growth in the yearly number of records added. This 
is not true for the shape of the cited references subset, as in most 
databases cited references have been added to the records only for the 
past few years.

Practical implications - There are many features which are specific to 
cited references, and thus the traditional bibliographic database design 
is just not sufficient.

Originality/value - The paper examines the issues surrounding cited 
reference enhanced database subsets.
