5. Select Highlighted content in the left hand pane.

   1. To receive an email notification when new publications are harvested from Scopus, tick the box next to Inform me by email when candidates are found. 
      NOTE: When new publications are harvested, the system notifies you either via email (if you selected that option) or under your personal tasks. It is recommended to turn on the email notification, otherwise you might miss any harvested candidates if you do not login to ResearchNow regularly.
