You might try out MedWorm too

A nice introduction to Yahoo Pipes. You might also try out MedWorm which allows you to create RSS feeds from queries on its sources - which currently includes over 5000 medically related RSS feeds (sorry, I too am recommending my own site - which is where I came across this posting, since I like to keep a check on blog postings tagged with 'RSS' - I hope you may excuse this since the site is highly relevant to this posting).

Scintilla

For the science side of things you could give Scintilla a try (sorry for plugging my own site, but it is designed for this kind of thing: if it doesn't suit the way you work then let me know).

that works too,,,

,,, but on a second thought, with the Pipes you can mashup and filter RSS from any source,,, so in addition to having keyword-filtered articles from papers, you can also have blog posts, newgroups and whatever else RSS content cleansed and delivered all in a single feed,,, I guess you could also do that by searching within Google reader after you aggregate your feeds there,,,

What about PubMed?

If your articles of interest are there of course (and a big if here). I have a couple saved searches in PubMed and subscribe to the feeds for those searches. One of these is a long list of scientists in my field for example. I subscribe using Google Reader so new papers come through every day and scanning through them in Reader is much easier than using PubMed directly. I then use a set of labels to prioritize articles for follow up and importing into the excellent pdf manager Papers.

Pipes are pretty nifty

Pipes are pretty nifty indeed. I created one for the same purpose myself a little while back for filtering items from a few different journals. I've since thought of an even easier way to search through a large number of journal feeds, but have not had the time to blog about it lately because I've been so caught-up in school work. Basically though, the idea is to combine google reader + yahoo pipes. Yahoo pipes is powerful, but it is a pain to handle a high number of feeds. It is very easy to add feeds to google reader however, so rather than adding the feeds directly to yahoo pipes, you could instead create a google reader account just for journal feeds. Give them all a tag like "article," and then feed your google reader "article" feed (which will include all items from all of the journals) into Yahoo pipes. This way you will only have to deal with a single feed in Yahoo pipes, and adding new journals becomes trivial.

Not bad, huh? :)

Journal article search via RSS mashup

I've been trying to come up with a nice way to mashup and process RSS feeds, mostly for the reason to be able to track articles from Journals that publish content that interests me. The best solution seems to be the workflows that can be constructed at Yahoo Pipes.
