Alerts for New Articles in PILOTS

You can set up 'Alerts' that will notify you by email of new articles of interest to you that have been added to the PILOTS database.

Alerts automatically search for new content every week. After creating a personal account, you will receive an email message that contains up to 250 new records of matching content.

To set up a new Alert:

1. Run a search strategy.
2. Click Search History.
3. Choose a search strategy, then click 'Save as Alert'.
4. Enter your email address and password, then click 'Continue'. If you are a new user to 'Alerts', then click 'New User? Create a personal profile'.
5. Choose the format that you want your results emailed (Short format, Full format, Full--omit refs, or Custom format).
6. You may choose to delimit your citations by Journal Article only or English only.
7. You may also deselect database(s) from the search query, or enter comments to appear with the search results when emailed.
8. Click 'Save as Alert'.

Click the History tab to see a list of the searches during your current session in CSA Illumina. Up to fifty current searches are displayed in sequence. When a fifty-first search is submitted, the first search in the sequence will be dropped.

From the History page, you can:

1. Edit a search
2. Save a search by creating a personal account or logging into an existing account (this can be the same account used to save an Alert)
3. Delete a search
4. Return to Search (clicking this takes you to the search results page with the search strategy)
5. Run the Search
6. Save the search as an Alert.

You can also combine a search at the bottom of the page (See 'Combine Searches').
