A research area tracking system is a tool or software that helps researchers keep track of developments and trends in a specific field of study. These systems often provide alerts or notifications about new publications, conferences, grants, news, and other relevant information related to the research area. Researchers can use these systems to stay up-to-date, discover new opportunities, and network with other researchers in their field. Some examples of research area tracking systems include Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ResearchGate.
