Document citation alerts

Document citation alerts notify you by email of newly loaded documents that cite a document you have specified. You can create a Document Citation Alert from the Document details page, the Author details page, and the Alerts page. There is no limit on the number of alerts you can create.

To create a document citation alert

1. On the Document details page, click Set alert in the Cited by since 1996 box.

   The Add a Document Citation Alert page appears.

2. Enter a name for the alert in the Name of alert field.
3. Enter the email address to which alerts should be sent in the E-mail address field.

   Note

   The email address in this field is from your profile. You can enter a different address here; this does not change your profile. You can also enter email addresses of colleagues. Separate multiple email addresses with a semicolon, comma, space, or press Enter on your keyboard. If a colleague unsubscribes from the alert, you will receive an email informing you of the action.

4. From the Frequency list, select how often you want to receive the alert.

   For the "Every week" and "Every two weeks" options, choose the day of the week you would like to receive the alert notification.

   The four monthly options allow you to specify the day of the month on which you would like to receive the alert notification.

   The system honors your preference as close as possible.

   Note	If there are no new documents matching your alert criteria during the time frame or frequency you choose, you will not receive an alert.

5. Select either HTML or Text email format for your alert.
6. Select Active or Inactive as the status of your alert.

   You can change this setting on the Alerts page without losing your frequency preferences. Setting an alert to Inactive status does not delete the alert.

7. Click Save to save the alert.

   You will receive an email confirmation summarizing the Document Citation alert preferences you have set.
