How to... Set up a Keep Me Posted Alert
Web Version of SciFinder
SciFinder's Keep Me Posted feature lets you quickly and easily set up alerts for references or substances of interest.
Whenever the Keep Me Posted icon in the upper left of the SciFinder window is active, you can set up an alert based on the initial query for the current Explore task.
Reference Alerts

When references are displayed in the main SciFinder window, click the Keep Me Posted arrow button in the upper left. |
Notes:
- SciFinder applies all of the "smarts" that it normally applies to Explore tasks, e.g., synonyms, company name dictionary, author name variations.
- Only the initial query is included; additional steps are not.
