Search Alerts
Search alerts send updates with new results relevant to searches you've saved. You can use search alerts to track articles you've written as well as articles you're interested in.
If you're a librarian, you can use search alerts to track articles by your faculty. By setting up search alerts, librarians can receive alerts when Scopus, ScienceDirect or Engineering Village publishes articles by authors affiliated with specific institutions or when these authors are cited by other publications. Librarians can use search alert results to publicize faculty research output and encourage faculty to track their own articles and citations.

Set each search to run daily, weekly or monthly and it then captures newly loaded documents in Scopus — from a variety of publishers — matching your original query.
