ISI Web of Science and Journal Tracker -- [Free to UNCG affiliates]
- ISI has announced that they are suspending the Journal Tracker service at the end of 2004.

The ISI Web of Science alerting service covers the exact same social science and science journals that were covered in Journal Tracker.
- The Web of Science offers an alerting service for 5600 frequently cited social science and science journals.
- The alerting service can email you tables of contents of particular journals, or it can send you updated results of your saved searches.
