This guide is generated using a technology called RSS, which you can also use to stay up to date with resources of your choice.

What is RSS?

RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) is a structured, computer-readable file format for publishing information about new content on a website. You can subscribe to a site's RSS feed using an RSS feed reader app or service in order to see when new content is posted to the site. Using your feed reader you can then check for and view new content from multiple sites in one convenient place.

Choosing an RSS Reader

There are many different RSS feed readers available. Some are web-based services that you access through your web browser, while others are apps that you install and run on your device—some are both. Some are free (with paid upgrade options), some are one-time purchases, and some are monthly subscriptions. Search the Internet for the latest recommendations and reviews (like this article from Wired magazine). One simple, free option is Feedly.

Subscribing to the Feed

Once you have your feed reader, it's time to add some feeds. Visit the sites that you want to follow and look for a link for the RSS feed or an icon like this (colors and design will vary):

Note: Each of the journals featured in this guide includes a link to the journal's feed at the bottom of the article list.

Grab the link to the RSS feed and add it to your feed reader (check your feed reader's documentation for exact instructions). Sometimes it can be hard to find a site's RSS feed. There are web browser extensions that can help locate RSS feeds on a webpage:

• RSS Subscription Extension (by Google) for Chrome
• Want My RSS for Firefox
• RSS Button for Safari

Most e-journal publishers also provide a way to sign up for email notifications when new journal content is published. Look for an option to sign up for notifications or alerts on the journal's homepage.
