How to Change Your Notification Settings

Notifications help you stay on top of the most popular articles based on your personalization settings, such as profession and specialty. You can choose to receive notifications based on the Journals, Keywords, Collections you follow, and more. These can either be in the format of Push Notifications, which are sent to your mobile device, or Email Notifications. Here, we will show how to enable and customize your settings for Read notifications.  If you are looking for the Read Web version of this FAQ article, click here.
