FAQ
How do I set up a literature alert?
WUR staff and students can run alerts free of charge on most databases WUR Library offers. This means that you are automatically notified of any new literature on the subject you are interested in.
How to set up an alert in a database
- Scopus: Scopus offers not only search alerts on subjects, but also citation alerts.
- CAB Abstracts, Medline or other databases on the OvidSP search platform.
- Social sciences databases such as PsycINFO, SocINDEX and Econlit on the EBSCOhost search platform.
WUR Library Search does not allow search alerts, but it does allow you to save a search so that you can execute the search again whenever you wish.
