ResearchGate is the world's largest professional network for scientists. You can use it to stay up to date and find research papers, conferences and discussions on topics of interest.
Zetoc provides access to the British Library's Electronic Table of Contents of around 20,000 current journals and around 16,000 conference proceedings published per year.
It includes an email alerting service, to enable you to keep up-to-date with relevant new articles and papers. You can also set up RSS feeds for journals.
