Alerting services are a great way to receive updates on topics, journals, researchers, and citations of interest to you. They also help you save time and keep on top of the research by automatically sending updates to you instead of you spending time searching for updates. Many alerts are set up and managed via individual specific databases or can be managed via an RSS feed.
Most of the databases will ask that you create a personalized account to manage your saved searches or RSS feeds.
There are many different types of alerts available:
- Journal Alerts: Stay on top of your favorite Journals by receiving the Table of Contents from the latest issues or by being notified of the latest articles published in an issue.
- Topic Alerts: Stay on top of your research areas of interest by having databases automatically run saved topic searches and have the latest search results sent to you.
- Citation Alerts: Be notified when an article gets cited. Very useful at keeping track of your own citation statistics and as well as the statistics within your field or department.
If you have a favorite Journal, you can set up Journal or Table of Contents Alerts or New publication Alerts to be notified of the latest articles published in said Journal. Check out the list of Top 5 Journals by Impact factor on the Find Articles tab for some suggestions of Journals to follow.
