Citation alerts
Citations are used in measuring research impact and it is sometimes useful to be alerted when someone cites a particular article.
This type of alert utilizes databases that have a citation search function, ie they allow you to see who is citing a particular article. Sometimes an additional login will be required, either before
setting up an alert or as part of the process.
