Readers can now receive an email every time eCMAJ — the electronic edition of CMAJ — publishes an article on a topic of interest, or by a particular author. Researchers and authors will find this service invaluable in alerting them when articles in their field have appeared, or when their own articles have been cited.
The new service, called CiteTrack, is one of many enhancements coming to eCMAJ's new Web site, powered by Stanford University's HighWire Press.
There are two ways to use CiteTrack. If you're reading an article and would like to be notified when it is later cited, simply click on “Alert me when new articles cite this article” in the box in the upper right. By supplying your email address, you will receive an email when the article is cited in an eLetter, a regular letter to the editor, an article in eCMAJ, or an article in one of hundreds of participating scientific and medical journals. This service is particularly useful to authors, who can use it to find out when their articles are cited.
Another way to use CiteTrack is by signing up to be notified of articles appearing on topics of interest to you, or articles by authors whose work you wish to follow. As with the citation notification, CiteTrack follows articles in hundreds of HighWire journals. Visit the CiteTrack information page (www.cmaj.ca/help/citetrack) to learn more about CiteTrack and to set up your personal CiteTrack account. There is no cost, and the only information required is your email address. — Carolyn Brown, eCMAJ
