Graduate Research Portal: Citation Alerts

Library-based support for University of Lethbridge graduate students

Citation Alerts

Citation Alerts will notify you anytime a research publication you are interested in has been cited by a new article and provide you with a link to this new article. This can be used to stay up to date on the latest research on a particular topic, someone citing an older document may mean they have done some follow up work or research on it.
