My Bibliography: Deleting Citations

Citations in a My Bibliography account can be deleted using the Manage Citations tool. Check the box next to the citation and from the Manage Citations tool, select Delete Citations.

If the work has been reported via NIH Manuscript Submission system (NIHMS) or a Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR), the citation cannot be deleted as an association has been made between an award and the work. Go to the Publication Compliance Status box for the citation and click the Awards information link to determine where the association was made. 

NIHMS

Contact the NIHMS Help Desk to remove the association.

RPPR

Contact the Public Access Policy Help Desk to remove the association. eRA Commons will notify you when the association is removed so you can delete the citation. To expedite your request, please include the following information:

• PI name
• Full award number, for example, 5R01DKxxxxxx-xx
• Complete citation(s) to be removed/disassociated. Include the NIHMSID, PMID, and PMCID if assigned.
• Reason for the disassociation.  Non-compliance is not a valid reason.
