Journal e-alerts

E-alerts for new publications come in the form of notifications for specific journals and/or subjects to track within a given society’s or publisher’s journals. This is a great way to keep up-to-date with new publications of direct relevance to your research project. You may need to register with the service using your university e-mail address. I have e-alerts set up for these journals:

American Geophysical Union
The journals to track with AGU are “Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems” (otherwise known as G-cubed), “Geophysical Research Letters”, “JGR (Journal of Geophysical Research) – Solid Earth”, and “Tectonics”.

Subjects in AGU’s e-alerts that are relevant to my research group include “Geochemistry”, “Geochronology”, “Mineralogy and Petrology”, “Physical Properties of Rocks”, “Structural Geology”, and “Tectonophysics”. I find the e-alert service does a very good job of choosing papers of interest to me tracking these subjects (i.e., so far, it has found every paper I wanted to download that I had independently spotted in the journal alerts).

GeoScienceWorld
Journals to monitor include the GSA’s journals listed above, “American Mineralogist”, “The Canadian Mineralogist”, “European Journal of Mineralogy”, “Geological Magazine”, “Geology”, “Geological Society of America Bulletin”, “Geosphere”, “Journal of the Geological Society”, “Lithosphere”, “Mineralogical Magazine”, “Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry”.
