Cathy — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:03:45 +0000

Check out the new list of Method D form of submission publishers for NIH-funded authors as noted on the NIH Public Access Policy website.

These publishers have volunteered to deposit a final peer-reviewed manuscript to the NIHMS on behalf of NIH-funded authors. Authors who publish in journals from Method D publishers are advised to review copyright agreements or other forms for boxes that need to be checked to indicate that the manuscript is applicable under the NIH Public Access Policy and/or to note specific NIH funding award number/s.

Act Now to Retain Your Commons Citations

Cathy — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 11:34:54 +0000

As of October 22, 2010, “PD/PI Entered” citations will no longer be available in eRA Commons.

See following notice from Extramural Nexus:

Are you an eRA Commons user who has used the Publications page of your Personal Profile to store your professional citation information? If you have manually entered any citation information into eRA Commons, you must transfer this information to a My NCBI account in order to retain it (i.e., for use in future progress reports). Several demos released this summer provide users with step-by-step instructions for navigating the integration of eRA Commons and My NCBI.

Guidance on how to locate and cite the PMCID, NIHMS ID and the “PMC Journal – In Process” for the NIH Public Access Policy has been updated. This guidance document includes tips on what to do if a NIHMS ID cannot be located or if a PMCID is not available three months post publication of a work.

Kudos to Springer: NIH Public Access Policy

Cathy — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:17:59 +0000

Did you publish a peer-reviewed journal article that is applicable under the NIH Public Access Policy in a journal published by Springer? Most Springer journals fall under the Method D form of submission method. Under the Method D form of submission, publishers submit the final peer-reviewed version of a manuscript to the NIHMS on behalf of NIH-funded authors. See the NIH Chart on Submission Methods.

Not sure about the submission status of an NIH-supported work published in a Springer journal? Use the new form that Springer provides for NIH-funded authors to ensure timely submission of the work in order to be compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy. Why is timely submission important? A PMCID is required within three months of publication.

To locate full grant award information, use the NIH Grants Lookup Tool.

Update: Transition of eRA Commons Bibliography Management to the My NCBI Tool

Cathy — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:52:59 +0000

eRA Commons has partnered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in providing a link to My NCBI in Commons. My NCBI includes “My Bibliography,” 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. A new feature now available in My Bibliography 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.

The partnership between eRA Commons and NCBI allows Commons users to benefit from My Bibliography’s ability to populate citation data from PubMed, PubMed Central, and the NIH Manuscript Submission system (NIHMS), and to readily maintain accurate, structured and up-to-date bibliographic information.

Important Dates:

As of April 2010, 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.

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.

As of October 22, 2010, Commons will no longer display citations that a PI has manually entered into Commons. All citations previously entered manually into Commons will be removed from the Commons system. Therefore, these citations must be added to My Bibliography so that they will continue to appear in Commons and can be associated with future annual progress reports.
