Email Alerts

After you create an alert, you will be notified by email when new articles meeting your search criteria are available. This guide will walk you through how to create the following alerts:

  • Search alert - A database will automatically run your saved search and deliver the latest results to your email.
  • Journal issue or Table of contents (TOC) alert - A journal (or database) will deliver the latest articles published in the journal to your email. 
  • Citation alert - A database will send you new articles that cite a specific article or author.
