How to Monitor New Academic Papers and Research
Keeping Up with Research
Thousands of new papers are published daily across arXiv, PubMed, and other repositories. Without systematic monitoring, it's easy to miss important work in your field. Automated alerts ensure you see every relevant paper when it's published.
Defining Your Interests
Use specific technical terms, author names, and institution names as keywords. Combine terms to reduce noise — 'transformer attention mechanism' is more useful than just 'transformer'. Monitor key authors in your sub-field by name.
Setting Up Alerts
AlertPulse monitors academic repositories and feeds for new papers matching your keywords. Alerts include the paper title, authors, abstract, and a link to the full paper.
Research Workflow
Triage alerts daily — skim titles and abstracts to identify must-read papers. Save promising papers to your reference manager. Review weekly for patterns and emerging research directions that could impact your own work.
