NIH Requires New Bibliography Management

On June 10th, the NIH announced that eRA Commons bibliography management is moving to an enhanced version of My NCBI, the PubMed / NCBI personal space for storing references. Starting on July 23, 2010, PIs will no longer be able to enter new citations in eRA Commons and must use My NCBI’s “My Bibliography” tool to create professional bibliographies. Citations that currently appear in Commons will have to be manually moved to the My NCBI Bibliography by October 22, 2010.

The eRA Commons homepage has updated content with instructions on how to set up a My NCBI account, how to link it to an eRA Commons account, and how to delegate management of the My NCBI Bibliography to another person. The eRA Commons homepage also describes the new features in the My NCBI Bibliography that will assist PIs with tracking NIH Public Access compliance. There is also a 4 minute tutorial called, “Creating Your Bibliography.”

Health Sciences Librarians provide instruction on setting up and using My NCBI. Let us know if you need our help. Contact us at 919-962-0800 or  https://asklib.hsl.unc.edu.
