There's a lot you can do with an RSS feed and an RSS reader.

How RSS Works

RSS is a way for website authors to publish notifications of new content on their website. To publish these notifications, the website author creates a text file with the XML file extension for the RSS feed that contains the title, description, and link for each post on the site.

To find an RSS feed on a website, look on the site’s main or home page. Some sites display their RSS feed as an orange button that may contain the acronyms RSS or XML.

What Is an RSS Feed?

An RSS feed consolidates information sources in one place and provides updates when a site adds new content.

RSS Feed Lists Worth Following

Think of an RSS reader like your email inbox. When you subscribe to the RSS feed for a website, the RSS reader displays content from that website. Use the RSS reader to view the content, or to go to the website. As you read each piece of new content, the RSS reader marks that content as read.

What Is an RSS Reader?

Look for different academic websites ans see if you find a RSS link.
