Given a published mathematics article, is there a way to find its tree of subsequent citations starting from the date of publication? Does such a (reverse bibliography) database exist?

I'm at a student in a relatively well-known university with access to virtually every mathematics journal imaginable, but I can't seem to find such a simple and useful tool.

Thanks!

MathSciNet has a From References link that you can use to build the tree yourself, assuming your article is in MathSciNet.

If you go to the AMS MathSciNet database, from each paper you can access to the list of papers citing it by clicking on the "From Reference" link from a "Citation" box in the upper right of the page.

See for istance the 255 papers citing Pierre Deligne's first paper on the Weil Conjectures here: http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/search/publications.html?refcit=340258&loc=refcit

There are several, including the public CiteSeerX and Google Scholar as well as many commercial databases.
