Now’s the

time!

Set up TOC Alerts

in Science &

Nature

Following is a quick demo showing how to set up

Table of Contents (TOC) email alerts for Science

and Nature. No time like the present!

It's also easy – and smart – to set up subject alerts at those two

publisher web sites as well.

The first step is to register for a personal

account with a login and password. We’ll

look at Nature first.

You can select the “Remember me” checkbox IF you’re using your

own personal computer.

Once you're logged in, you’ll see an "Alerts"

tab on the “My Account” screen.

On the Alerts tab, click “Modify” to set up your

alerts. There are several options; let’s look at TOC

alerts by Subject Area first.

TOC Alerts by subject area means you'll get email

updates with TOCs from several relevant

Nature.com publications.

The Earth Sciences subject area includes TOCs for Nature, Nature

GeoScience, Nature Communications, Nature Climate Change,

and Nature Materials.

You can further customize your alerts by selecting

or deselecting specific publication titles in the next

section of the Alerts page.

Click "Confirm" to save your selections. You can change your

selections at any time by returning to the "Alerts" section of

your account, once you've logged in.

On the Science site, you'll find a section

called "Alerts" near the "Sign In / Sign

Out" button.

From the ‘Alerts’ screen, click “Add / Edit /

Delete Alerts" to create or modify your alerts.

You can change your selections at any time.

You’ll be prompted to enter an email address, then

can select from various TOC options, including Science

magazine, news and other highlights.

As with Nature, you can choose to receive alerts in

a specific subject across all the Science publication

areas, including This Week in Science, Science

Express, and Editor's Choice.

Collection alerts require registration, so if

you’re not already signed in, you’ll be

prompted to sign in or register (free) at this

point.

Science collection email alerts will send

you updates from a range of Science

content on specific topics.

An upcoming slideshow will

explain setting up keyword

and citation search alerts in

Science, Nature, and in

Web of Science.

Stay tuned!
