Alerts
If you have created a Scopus account you can then request that you are emailed when new documents are uploaded onto Scopus. There is no limit to the number of alerts that you can receive.
The different types of alerts
You can save searches to be rerun at certain intervals. If any new results are found you will receive an email with the first 25 results and a link to Scopus to access all new results.
After completing a search you can click Set Alert to the left of the search boxes.
You can be emailed when a new work cites a specified document. To do this click on the title of the document that you are interested in. This will bring up the full details about that article and you can then click set citation alert in the right column.
You can be emailed when an author is cited in Scopus. Firstly, go to the author details page. You can get here either by clicking on the name of an author at the top of one of their papers, and then clicking view full profile in the right hand column, or by searching for them on the homepage. Click on set alert under their citation details and choose author citation alert from the pop up box.
