My NCBI Tool to Replace eRA Commons for Bibliography Management

My NCBI Tool to Replace eRA Commons for Bibliography Management

As of July 23, 2010, PD/PIs will be unable to enter citations manually into eRA Commons and must use My NCBI’s “My Bibliography” tool to manage their professional bibliographies. Please see the full press release at this URL: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-103.html

eRA Commons has partnered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to link NCBI’s personal online tool, “My NCBI,” to Commons. My NCBI offers an online portal—“My Bibliography”—for users to maintain and manage a list of all of their authored works, such as journal articles, manuscripts accepted for publication, books, and book chapters. Linking a Commons account to a new or existing My NCBI account allows references saved in My Bibliography to automatically appear in users’ Commons accounts.

Please follow this link to the eRA website, for complete instructions on creating and linking accounts necessary for this transition.

Please also see the following article posted in the NLM Technical Bulletin, describing a new feature now available in My Bibliography and which facilitates the management of publication compliance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy. From the new Awards View, eRA Commons users are able to see whether their publications are compliant with the Policy, start the manuscript submission process, associate their NIH extramural awards with their publications, and designate delegates to manage their bibliography via My NCBI.
