Document citation alerts notify you by e-mail of newly loaded documents that cite a selected document. A Document Citation Alert can be created from the Record page and the My Alerts page.

Note: Non-Scopus documents (abstracts available on platforms external to Scopus) and citations derived from Scopus references are not included in Document Citation alerts.

Complete the following steps to create a Document Citation Alert:

From the Document Display page, click Alert me. The Add a Document Citation Alert page will display.
Required: Choose a name for this alert and enter it in the Name of Alert field.

Note: The name of the alert cannot exceed 100 characters in length.
Required: Enter the e-mail address to which alerts should be sent in the E-mail Address field.

Note: The default e-mail address within this field is based upon the address entered when you first registered to use Scopus. You may change the address here if you want the alert to be sent to a different address. This will not affect the settings in your personal profile.
From the Frequency list, select the frequency with which you wish to receive the Document Citation Alert. Available selections are:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Inactive
Note: If there are no new documents matching your alert criteria during the time-frame/frequency you choose, you will not receive an alert.
From the E-mail Format section, select the format in which you wish to receive your e-mailed Document Citation Alert. Available selections are:
- HTML
- Text
Click Submit to save the Document Citation Alert, or click Cancel to discontinue creating the Document Citation Alert.
