Citation Alerts

Keep up to date with the information that matters to you. By setting up search and citation alerts via email or RSS (Rich Site Summary) feeds, you can stay up to date on recently published research and see who is citing your work.

When you create a citation alert, you will receive an e-mail whenever a new publication cites a previously published work. Alerts are active for one year. You may renew an alert at any time.

You create a citation alert by clicking the Create Citation Alert button from a Full Record page within any product in your subscription. This button only appears if you have a subscription to Web of Science Core Collection.

For each record on the list, you will find the following information.

What is a RSS Feed?

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary (also known as Really Simple Syndication).

RSS is a content delivery vehicle also known as a web feed. Data is in XML format. Content distributors publish frequently updated news and other Web content in many places on the Web. Users can subscribe to an RSS feed and receive the updated content as it is published. RSS feeds can include full or summarized text and metadata such as publishing dates and author names.
