Hits On Health: Keeping Up-To-Date with Alerts

•  Saved Search Alerts let you save a favourite search and have the results emailed to you regularly; and

•  Content Awareness Alerts let you select or identify topics of interest and email you when new content matching your interests goes online.


To view the full-text of articles included in the alerts, you should access the journals via HINARI or, if the journal is free online just find it on the publisher's website e.g. HighWire Press and Amedeo.
