  • If you’ve already identified important journals in your field, a great way to stay connected is by signing yourself up for alerts or notifications. Choose one, go to the publisher’s website, register for an account if necessary, and sign up for automatic updates!
  • Do you want to track articles, books, or news on a particular topic? Try saving a search query in UW Libraries Search, a disciplinary database, Google, or Google Scholar by following the these examples.
  • As you monitor the literature, consider saving key sources in a citation manager.
