ingenta RSS Feeds

You can subscribe to RSS feeds for Table of Contents from newly published issues of journals in the ingenta database. You do not need an account at ingenta to subscribe to journal feeds.

On the ingenta homepage, you can search or browse for journal titles. You can choose to limit to journals that are part of our subscription with ingenta, but note that this list is a verty small subset of all the journals indexed by ingenta. If you subscribe to a feed for a journal that is not part of our subscription, you can often gain access to an article listed in that feed from another subscribed source or request the article through interlibrary loan.

Once you have located a journal of interest, look for the RSS for Latest Issue or RSS for Recent Issues links. (You choice will probably be determined by the publication frequency of the journal in question. Look at the list of volumes and issues to the left of the feed links to determine the publication frequency.)

What you need to do next depends on the software you use to subscribe to RSS feeds. In some cases, you can simply click the feed link to automatically add the feed to your list of subscriptions. In other cases, you should copy the feed address and paste or import the feed URL into your RSS software. Feeds should update whenever new issues are added to ingenta.


Accessing content from RSS feeds

Most RSS feeds will not work through Off Campus Sign In; the links to articles and other content they provide will likely not work from off campus. The easiest way to resolve this is to install the LibX browser plugin.Once installed, you can right-click on an article page and choose to reload that page through Off Campus Sign In so you'll be recognized as a Virginia Tech user.

Any alerting service could include a citation to an article that is accessible from a different source than the feed provides or is not part of any Virginia Tech Libraries subscription. Use the Citation Linker to lookup if the article is available elsewhere (enter just the DOI digital object identifier if the feed lists it) or to get a link to request the article through interlibrary loan.
