Stay updated with Systems Biology research
January 8th, 2010 , by Stefan PauleweitIt isn't a secret that one basic prerequisite in any research is to be up to date by reading the newest publications. To get knowledge of a new article, journals offering email alerts. The interdisciplinary character of Systems Biology causes a fragmentation of publications to a number of journals. Journals dedicated to biology, physics, mathematics, computer science or a combination of it, may publish articles related to Systems Biology. However, if I would subscribe to all of the offered email notification my mailbox will be flooded. Thats why I prefer RSS feeds. Since I updated my laptop to the new KDE4 desktop, I use a plasmoid to get notified for new articles (see screenshot).

Unfortunately it's not always easy to find a feed from the publisher website. That motivates me to investigate the provided web feeds of some major journals related to Systems Biology. The results varies from a valid feed containing the abstract to no feed at all. Additionally I'll offer an OPML file containing the RSS feed for an easy import to an appropriated feed reader.
