How to succeed at masters study
The following helpsheet will take you through the basics of how to succeed at masters study:
You can set up alerts for individual journals so that you are alerted whenever a new issue is available. You can set this up via an individual database or direct with the publisher of the journal. You can also use a service such as JournalTOCs.
JournalTOCs is the largest, free collection of scholarly journal Tables of Contents (TOCs): over 23,000 journals from 2029 publishers. It is for researchers, students, librarians and anyone looking for the latest scholarly articles and alerts you when new issues of your followed journals are published.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, also known as 'news feeds', are another way of keeping up to date by allowing you to see when websites of your choice have added new content.
RSS can be used as an alternative to email alerts, allowing you to set up feeds from online databases in your subject area to see details of new journal articles that have been added to the database.
Other web-based services e.g. BBC News website, support RSS and you can set up a feed for an area of news that interests you.
