eRA Commons has partnered with NCBI in providing a link to MyNCBI in Commons. MyNCBI includes “MyBibliography,” a tool 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.

The partnership between eRA Commons and NCBI allows Commons users to benefit from MyBibliography’s ability to populate citation data from PubMed, PubMed Central, and the NIH Manuscript Submission system, and to readily maintain accurate, structured and up-to-date bibliographic information. The improved data quality resulting from this integration enhances the ability of the NIH to manage and monitor the results of its research portfolio.

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.
