Web of Knowledge - Tips and Tricks

Be notified when the latest issue of your favourite journal comes out

By registering on the Web of Knowledge website, you can set up email alerts for the latest Academic Journals, run saved searches automatically and be alerted when an article is cited.

To register:
  • Select Web of Knowledge from the A-Z database list on the Library Homepage

  • Click on register

  • Fill in your details on the form

Once you have registered you can Sign in any time you are using a Web of Knowledge Database (e.g. Current contents, Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports).

Citation Alerts:
If you have an article indexed in Web of Science, you can ask the database to email you every time a new citation occurs.

My Journal List:
This allows you to create lists of journals and have the Table of Contents emailed to you when the new issues come out.

My Saved Searches:
If you have a search that you carry out regularly, you can save the search and ask Web of Knowledge to run it on a regular basis. The results of the search will be emailed to you. Alternatively, you can save the search and choose to run it manually.
