You will be taken to the journal page on Clinical Key. You can only set up an alert if you have activated your account and stored your email address. Click on the top-right menu to check if your account is activated.

Check whether you have activated your account via the right-hand menu options

If your account is activated you will see your name and your email address will be stored in the Settings option. If your account is not activated you will need to do this.

An activated account will show advanced functions
