PubMed: If you want to save your PubMed searches, first you need a My NCBI account. Once your account is set up, you’re able to receive automatic email updates (daily, weekly, or monthly—you pick) for any of your saved searches. Learn more about saving and managing searches in PubMed.

Web of Science: Save your Web of Science searches, and receive daily, weekly or monthly email alerts when new publications matching your search are published. You can also receive alerts for specific articles for any new citations. You’ll need a Web of Science personal profile, but it’s easy to create one. Find more instructions on saved searches and alerts in Clarivate Web of Science.

Scopus: Alerting in Scopus is similar to Web of Science and PubMed; you’ll need a user account, and can either create an RSS feed for your searches, or have results sent to your email periodically. You can also set up specific author citation alerts or document alerts. View more information about creating alerts in Scopus.

Google Scholar: Help yourself keep on top of recurrent Google Scholar searches by setting up alerts for those searches. Google Scholar can also send you alerts when your papers are cited. Set up these alerts and more by following the documentation at Google Scholar Search Help.
