How to use alerting services to stay aware of the latest research published in your area
Alerting services can be used to inform you about new publications which may interest you. Alerts may be sent by email or as an RSS feed. JournalTOCs offers email alerts with a table of contents for new issues of your chosen journals.
Many databases (such as Scopus, Medline and PsycINFO) can provide email alerts when new articles are published that match your search criteria. You will usually need to set up a personal account within the database to register for alerts.
Conal provides lists of academic conferences in the UK and abroad. You can also register to receive emails about upcoming conferences in your chosen subject area.
