What is My Bibliography?

eRA Commons has partnered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in providing My NCBI. My NCBI is a dashboard portal that retains user information and database preferences to provide customized services for many NCBI databases. It allows you to save searches from PubMed and other resources, select display formats, and set up automatic searches. My NCBI also includes My Bibliography and SciENcv.

My Bibliography is a tool to help investigators manage a list of citations to works such as journal articles; manuscripts accepted for publication; books and book chapters; meeting abstracts; conference papers; presentations; seminars; patents; and other research products. Investigators are required to use My Bibliography as of July 2010. See NOT-OD-10-103.

My Bibliography allows investigators to:  

  • populate citation data from PubMed, PubMed Central, and the NIH Manuscript Submission system (NIHMS)
  • associate NIH awards with their publications
  • determine whether their publications are compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy 
  • assign delegates to manage their bibliography
  • populate the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)
  • create a link to publications for the NIH Biosketch

Investigators must link My NCBI to their eRA Commons account to activate My Bibliography. 

GUIDANCE:

Linking My Bibliography with an eRA Commons Account

The eRA linked account icon should display on your My Bibliography page. If not, this means that your My Bibliography is not linked with your eRA Commons account.

Select the “eRA Commons” signing option in the NCBI login page, log in using your eRA Commons credentials, and proceed to link your eRA account to an existing NCBI account, or register for a new NCBI account.
