Alerts
There are 2 types of alert:
- Electronic Table of Contents (eTOC) alerts will notify you whenever new content is published online (new issues, new book volumes, new Online First content etc.).
- A CiteTrack alert will notify you when new content is published that matches criteria based on keywords, authors or articles you want to track. You can broaden your search criteria by including other participating HighWire-hosted journals .
Go to http://www.lyellcollection.org/cgi/alerts to set up new or edit your eTOC or CiteTrack alert preferences. If you are already signed in you will automatically be taken to the alert index page. If you do not have a user name and password for the Lyell Collection, you may sign up with your email address by choosing ‘Sign In to Email Alerts with Your Email Address’.
You can sign up for alerts by either logging in (subscribers) or by using your email address (individuals or non-subscribers). You can then manage alerts from the Alerts drop-down in the menu bar near the top of the page or from the Alerts & RSS link in the left-hand column of the footer on any of the sites.
If you need to change your email address, do one of the following:
- Subscribers: If you are a Lyell Collection subscriber you should sign in and update your email address in your online record. After you make this change, alerts will be sent to your new address.
- Other: you can either (i) register for a free account or (ii) delete your current alerts and then resubscribe to the desired eTOC and CiteTrack alerts with your new email address.
About RSS feeds
Receive the latest content from Lyell Collection via RSS feeds. Citation and abstract information for current issues and Online First articles are also available through RSS feeds. To receive content via RSS feeds, you will need a web browser with feed capabilities or an RSS reader or aggregator.
What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a system which enables you to receive evolving information from the Lyell Collection and display it directly on your own computer. Using free and readily available software (an RSS Reader) you will be able to display headline information without having to visit and browse Lyell Collection pages. The Lyell Collection offers a range of Feeds, with some variations, including current content, and lists of both most-read and most-cited articles. Once you have signed up for a Feed you will start to receive the relevant information together with links back to the full content.
There are many different RSS Readers available, some of which are accessed using your Web browser, and some of which can be downloaded to your computer. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS Feeds you want.
What is an RSS Reader?
The RSS Reader receives all the RSS Feeds you have selected and displays them in a format similar to emails displayed in your inbox. With each new journal issue that is published, the ‘Current issue’ RSS Feed will include all of the article titles in the issue and the abstracts for those articles that have them, with links to the full text of the articles. ‘Most-read’ and ‘Most-cited’ Feeds are updated monthly. Usually the Reader also indicates whether you have already viewed a particular title.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their Web sites.
