The following personalization options are available:

• E-mail alerting service
  This popular and time-saving option is designed to keep you up-to-date with the publication of new articles within your chosen subject area. Two types of alerts are available: standard tables of contents alerts and enhanced alerts, based on your own criteria (keywords etc.).
• Filing Cabinet
  The Filing Cabinet helps you to track your favourite articles. It allows you to keep an online record of any articles that you have marked of interest so that you can quickly and easily return to them. You can also add your own personal notes that will be displayed with the article's abstract.
• Save your searches
  Following a search, you can save it in your Search history for future use, so that you can return to it and rerun it whenever you wish.
• Personal Journals List
  To help you to get to the information you want as easily as possible, you can use this option to create your own Personal Journals List. Once enabled, the standard Journals List (on our EJs home page) will be replaced with one that only contains the journals you selected.
