Search alerts notify you by e-mail of new documents in Scopus that match the search in the alert.
You can create a Search Alert from the Search History page, the Search Results page, and the My Profile page. You can also save Search Alerts from the Saved Searches page, which you can access from the My Profile page.
Note: Non-Scopus documents (abstracts available on platforms external to Scopus) and citations derived from Scopus references are not included in Search alerts.
To create a Search Alert:
Enter and run a search.
At the Search Results page, click Save as Alert.
In the Name of Alert field, enter a name for the Search Alert.
Note: This field automatically displays up to 5 of the first search terms.
In the E-mail Address field, enter the e-mail address for alert notifications.
Note: This field automatically displays the e-mail address entered when you first registered to use Scopus.

Note: If there are no
alerts during the frequency that you select, then you will not recieve an e-mail.
