Systematic Reviews: Keeping up-to-date

Most databases will allow you to save a search strategy and set an alert. Alerts can take several forms, but all provide a method of updating by sending automatic alerts of new results matching a search strategy. It is generally necessary to register and create a Personal Account in each database prior to creating an Alert. Alerts can take the form of Journal and Saved Search Alerts.

Saved Search Alerts: a search is saved in a database and set to email regular updates on any new results that match the search criteria. In order to set an alert you will generally be required to register or create an account.This video describes how to create a saved search.

Journal Table of Contents (ToC) alerts: many online journals will provide email alerts on the table of contents for each newly published issue. A Journal Table of Contents alert is used to alert you when a new issue of a journal is published. It is necessary to register for a personal account in each database where you have a ToC. ToC alerts can be set up for email or RSS.This video describes how to create a journal alert.
