Stay up-to-date with the latest journals published on the Ovid platform

By

 Our NHS users can access the high impact journal collection on the Ovid platform. You can easily stay up-to-date with your favourite titles by setting up an eTOC alert. You’ll then get an email with details of the table of contents from the latest issue in your inbox.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to find whether we subscribe to the journal title you need.

Check our previous blog post to learn what an eTOC is.

Set up an alert on a journal from Ovid by following the steps below:

How to set up a journal alert on an Ovid journal title

1. Link to the Ovid platform

I am going to set up an alert for the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), which is available to our NHS users via the Ovid platform. Click the link for Ovid on the journal title entry on the NHS A-Z journals list.

Entry for the NEJM title on the NHS A-Z journals list

You will be taken to the journal page on Ovid.

2. Create your alert

To create your journal alert, just click the eTOC icon (eTOC is an electronic table of contents).

On the journal page click the eTOC icon

Enter your email address and click the subscribe button. You will now receive an email containing the table of contents when a new issue of the journal is published.

3. Access Full-Text

You will receive an etoc email when a new issue of the journal is published. Click the article link, in the email, to go to the journal article. Login via your OpenAthens username to access the full-text.

This is an example of the update email

Unsubscribe

1. To stop the alerts…

Unsubscribe via the OVID eTOC subscription service. Click the button Manage eTOCs Subscriptions.
