What can I do with an account?

  • Save articles to your folder so you can easily find them again. 
  • In some accounts, you can create different folders for different projects and share those folders if you're working in a group. 
  • You can save complex searches so you can run them again.
  • You can set up recurring search alerts, which will run searches for you.
