Authors can keep track of their citations and set notifications by creating a ‘Citation Alert’ in IEEE Xplore. To set up a citation alert, follow these simple steps:
- Sign in to IEEE Xplore using your IEEE personal account.
- Go to the article you would like to track.
- Click the bell-shaped alerts icon in the top right action menu, just above the abstract.
- Choose ‘Add to Citation Alerts’ to complete your request.
- You will receive an alert via email whenever the article is cited.
Once you set up the alert, you can select ‘Manage Citation Alerts’ to see all of your citation alerts that you have set up.
To view your citation alerts at a later time, select ‘My Settings’ from the top navigation bar, then select ‘Alerts’ from the drop-down menu. There you will see many different alerts, and select ‘Citation’ to view all your citation alerts. There, you can remove any by selecting the ‘X’ icon to the right of the article name. To add it back, follow the instructions above.
