My Bibliography

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.

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
  • populate the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)
  • create a link to publications for the NIH Biosketch
  • assign delegates to manage their bibliography
