From 05:30 EDT on Saturday August 2, to 01:30 EDT on Sunday August 3 (09:30 UTC to August 3, 05:30 UTC), ScienceDirect will be unavailable due to an upgrade of the administrative system that will improved the access and entitlements process to both platforms.

As a consequence, Email alerts and RSS feeds for ScienceDirect will not be sent from 11:30 EDT on August 1 (15:30 UTC) until the downtime has finished. Email alerts and RSS feeds can still be created until 05:30 EDT on August 2 (09:30 UTC), but they will not be sent until after the upgrade is completed.
