What changes
A much shorter list. Your judgment still decides.
It reaches you while the experiment it would change is still running.
Describe the problem. What the authors called it stops being your problem.
Each one arrives with the reason it was picked. Yours, or not.
What you keep and what you discard shapes tomorrow's list.
You already have alerts
Search finds what you're looking for. This finds what you didn't know to look for.
Keyword alerts · reactive
You guess the words
Nobody searches for the thing they haven't thought of and half the field names it something slightly different anyway.
A standing order · proactive

Filed once. Read against every new paper, every morning, whether or not anyone remembers to look.
