Search Alerts help you follow topics you’re researching by sending regular updates when new related papers are added to Academia.
The Search Alerts feature is useful if you want to regularly follow a topic, research area, or keyword to see new research about it over time.
Who can use Search Alerts
Search Alerts are exclusive to Academia Premium users.
If you have an active Premium subscription, you can create Search Alerts to follow topics, keywords, authors, or research areas that matter to you. Academia will send you regular email updates when new matching papers are added.
If you don't have Premium, you may still be able to search Academia manually, but you will need Premium to create and manage Search Alerts.
