Two systematic sources of citations are:

The Show Citation script of the Harvard University Center for Astronomy MPES (Minor Planet Ephemeris Service): http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/ShowCitation.COM?num=37601
The JPL Small-Body Database Browser: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=37601

In both cases you need only modify the last argument of the address. The first's data base is being slowly built up in reverse chronological order; the second is more complete as of 2006.
