RSS Feeds for Journals
by Alex
That’s what I want. Exactly like Bloglines (not citeulike or delicious, where you find articles and tage them), but with academic journals instead of blogs. I’d have different folders for different things I’m interested in, and every month or quarter or year or whatever I’d get the title and abstract of each article on the table of contents as a separate entry.
Has this been done yet?
This may be too specific (bioinformatics), but it sound’s like what you are after: http://barf.jcowboy.org/. Also Citeulike has many journals available as rss (for example, http://www.citeulike.org/journal/bpl-anth). Many journal publishers also support RSS, for example http://www.nature.com/rss, Ingenta (see http://www.ldodds.com/blog/archives/000169.html). Hope that helps.
No, I haven’t seen it. The arXiv, however, does have a feed for all the math preprints as well as per-subject feeds, which is great.
It has – PLoS, Nature, and a whole host of computing journals offer RSS feeds [I've noticed that the computer science community tends to be far ahead of indexing it's own research than everyone else... It's taken years for other fields to catch up to citeseer and the arXivs].
Some finds:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (titles/abstracts only, I think)
The Australian Journal of Anthropology (full text, looks like)
Open Source Anthropology (wiki article, not rss feed, but inneresting)
And so on.
OUP has feeds, but Cambridge does not.
What would be ideal is not feeds for each journal, but keyword searches across all journals that would produce their own feeds…Unfortunately the social science publishing industry is still mostly living in the dark ages.
CiteULike has a bunch of anthropology journals.
