Like Web of Science, you need to register as a Scopus user and sign in via the TU Dublin Library A-Z Database Listing to use Scopus alerting services.
Once signed in you are able to create (a) search alerts (b) article citation alerts and (c) author citation and new document alerts to stay up-to-date as needed. Use these alerts to receive email notices when new documents are loaded on Scopus. From the Alerts page, you can create alerts, view the latest results for an alert, edit alerts, and delete alerts. This can also be done from your Search History on the front page. There is no limit on the number of alerts you can create. You can also follow an author using their Orcid or Scopus profile. You may wish to set up a profile yourself using these tools.
A search alert is a saved search that you can schedule to run at certain intervals. If any new results are found, you will receive an email with the first 25 results and a link into Scopus to access all new results.
