• Table of Content Alerts. Receive e-mail alerts and RSS feeds for the latest content in your favorite journals. To register for our standard table-of-contents alerts, simply select the publications of interest. You will receive an e-mail alert when the issue is complete.
• Saved Search Alerts. Use the tools available in OSA Publishing to create, edit, or remove a saved search or alert on the topics that matter the most to you. Set an e-mail alert to be delivered daily or weekly when new content is added to your journals.
• Manage Citation Alerts. Sign up to receive e-mail alerts when a specific article is cited.
• My Favorite Articles. Build collections of article links for your favorite topic areas. As you search and browse articles in OSA Publishing, you can select and save article links to personal collections and then export collections to popular citation-management formats such as BibTeX and RIS (for EndNote and others).
