An Alert is a search you save to run automatically at intervals you specify.

To view your current list of Search Alerts and Current Awareness Updates, select My Alerts from the user drop-down menu in the global navigation header.

When you run a search that retrieves results that you would like to update periodically, you may save the search as an Alert. If no results are retrieved for a search, you may save it as an Alert for future updates. To see a list of your Alerts, click on the My Research tab, then click on the Alerts subtab.
