HELP! Cell press journals discontinue RSS feeds!!!

Post by aalper »

Dear All,

Cell Press journals discontinued RSS feeds. I contacted them and I've been told they took this decision due to their decreasing popularity. If you are a keen follower of journals via RSS feeds please send an email to dbowers@cell.com and ask for RSS feeds to be reinstated.

As Cell press represents one of the biggest group biomedical journals, it is likely that other journals might also follow in removing RSS feeds. We need to let the journals know that we still use them.

Thanks,

Alper

Hi

I saw that none of my feeds were updating and wondered if they had done something like that. Anyway, I have a workaround that is effective for me. I am using a PubMed search for the Journal name and for articles published within the last 30 days.

Example: ("Molecular cell"[Journal]) AND "last 30 days"[DP]

Then I click the orange RSS button and max it out to 100 displayed items. Then right-click and 'save link as...' and use it to replace the old RSS link in Vienna.

So far, I have used it for Cell, Mol cell, AJHG, Trends in Genetics and Trends in Mol Med. and they all work well enough.

Here are some pre-made links that I created using the above method (max I can submit is 3, sorry):

Cell:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/euti ... fkQoFo9M_F

Mol. Cell:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/euti ... EosJpr_UhM

AJHG:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/euti ... yAVmEazsAB


Hope they work ok. You should be able to paste them directly into Vienna. If not, try using the search string at the top of the post

Best of luck :grin:

Sam
