Journal RSS feeds and alerts: follow any journal, preprint server or database
Every large publisher publishes one feed per journal, but nobody maintains an index that checks them: JournalTOCs no longer resolves, Zetoc retired in 2022, and help pages change addresses without notice. This directory fetches and parses every feed, shows when it was checked and what it held, and gives you the address ready to paste into Vite Research or any reader.

How this directory is built
Journal data (name, ISSN, publisher, works, h-index, open access, topics) comes from OpenAlex and DOAJ, both released under CC0. For each journal we derive the feed address from its publisher's pattern or from the link the page itself advertises, then fetch it: 1,382 answered with a parseable feed, 172 were blocked by their publishers, and the rest returned no feed. A journal is indexed only when its feed works and shows an item from the last year. Read more
