Following all peer-reviewed articles matching the keyword(s) that are most relevant to them and/or
Following one or more of over 20,000 journals from all major publishers and/or

Users are then able to scan through the list of newly-published articles that match their selection criteria.

When scanning, they can view the article with one click (when available), as well as the full abstract and article-related information.

With another click, users can select the article and send the URL directly to their email address, which provides a link to the abstract or full-text version.
