This is a followup to the previous post about hearing about new scientific
articles in your area as they appear through an RSS feed or email alerts.
What gives me even more of a thrilling feeling of omniscience than alerts
for new issues of journals in my field, is a feature in ScienceDirect
called Search Alerts. If you create an alert for a text string signifying
your sub-specialities, any time *anyone* publishes an article on them in
any of the 2500 journals on sciencedirect, you will get an email. It's
like being a bigtime crime boss with ears and eyes everywhere.
