Hi, a couple of people like Beth have mentioned that there has been a change to the short format which no longer includes abstracts. I've checked the alert and it was set to "large" so shouldn't have been affected by this. I've re-saved the alert with "large". I've also re-created the search and alert and will see if saving from scratch will fix it. Cheryl.
