 Staff at UHNM can access full-text of 600+ journal titles on Clinical Key. These cover a wide range of specialties. You can easily stay up-to-date with your favourite titles by setting up an alert. You’ll then get an email with details of 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 Clinical Key by following the steps below:

How to set up a journal alert on Clinical Key

1. Link to the Clinical Key platform

I am going to set up an alert for the etoc for the American Journal of Cardiology. This title is available on the Clinical Key platform. Click the link for Clinical Key on the journal title entry on the NHS A-Z journals list.

2. Make sure you have activated your account

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

3. Create your alert

To create your journal alert, just click the Alert icon (the bell). You will see a confirmation message.

You will now receive an email containing the table of contents for the journal title when a new issue is published.
