Research Alert Services
AutoAlerts: USYD E-Campus
An AutoAlert begins as a saved search in a specific OVID database, such as CAB Abstracts or MEDLINE. The search strategy can be a single subject term, a journal title or the name of an author you want to track; or a complex string of search words and limits if you are searching for something very specific. Once an AutoAlert is saved, the server checks for updates every day. Whenever the database is updated and the search yields new results, you will receive the citations via email.
