Web of Knowledge Subject Alerts

Now click on Save History / Create Alert.




Give your search a name and choose the options you want - if you only want to receive rss feeds do not select Send Me Emails. Click on Save.



To receive rss feeds click on the XML icon




You can now follow your chosen method of receiving a feed.





When the records arrives in your feed reader or email clicking on them will open the Web of Science records. Clicking on the MasseyLink icon will allow you to access the full text of the article if it is available.
