Journal vendors and publishers often provide feeds for their titles, but they aren't always easy to find.

Health Sciences Journals

We've collected feeds for over 3000 health sciences journals, which you can browse alphabetically or by topic:   E-Journal Feeds A-Z  •  E-Journal Feeds by Topic

Health Sciences Journal Bundles

While you can always subscribe to feeds one by one, you have the option to subscribe to topic groups of several feeds at once. You'll find these feed bundles in our listing of E-Journal Feeds by Topic.

Beyond the Health Sciences

A great source for e-journal feeds in other disciplines is the JournalTOCs Table of Contents Service.

• FeedRinse: combine and filter feeds, then export them for yourself or others to use

• Yahoo Pipes: do just about anything imaginable with feeds, all in a GUI environment

• Google FeedBurner: publish feeds you've created for easy use by others, plus provides built-in usage statistics

• FriendFeed: combine friends' feeds from common services like Twitter, YouTube and Flickr all in one place

• Feed My Inbox: subscribe to any feed and have it forwarded to you as an email

• FreeMyFeed: free your feed from authentication or invalid SSL certificates to get them into a reader
