Hi everyone,

I use the application Feedly (https://feedly.com ). It compiles news feeds from a variety of online sources (Pubmed and journal RSS feeds etc.).

Within a few seconds I usually browsed over 20 journals with specific keyword (usually: superresolution, nanoscopy, 4Pi) and specific authors.

It’s a great application for various web browsers and mobile devices 😊

Best regards,

Ulrike

A year ago, I would have said Google Scholar alerts, but since then I've had a much better experience with Twitter. You have to follow a sufficiently diverse group to get good coverage, of course.
