Stage 2: Developing the Search: Set Alerts

Set Alerts

Some synthesis reviewers choose to set alerts in case recent publications that match their search query become available. The most common type of notification to employ are database alerts, and these can be set up through the account settings within the databases used in for the search.

Other types of alerts include:

• Citation alerts
• Table of contents alerts
• Journal alerts
