In order to implement a new search engine, Science Direct will suspending all Search, Citation and Topic Alerts, for a week from Sunday 14 January until Sunday 21 January, 2007.
“During this one-week period users will not receive any of the aforementioned Alerts emails and they will instead be delivered the following week, after 21 January. The 30-day Archive function for Search Alerts will not be reloaded, so if users want to save their archived records they must do so before 14 January.
The Volume/Issue Alerts will not be affected by the new FAST ESP search engine migration.”
If you use Science Direct regularly, please do check the Search Reference guide or let me know if you have any questions.
