How To Use Keywords

If you are looking for the Read Web version of this FAQ article, click here.

Keywords are essentially search terms you would like the Read app to look for in articles. By having more, precise keywords, Read will be able to further enhance the article recommendations for you in the Featured Feed and Newsletters. Once you add keywords to Read, article recommendations should immediately pop-up for you in the "My Keywords" section of the app. You can see all the relevant articles by clicking on each individual keyword. Searches can be specific like journal names, or a combination of terms using Boolean search.
