After depositing your paper, anyone submitting an application, proposal or report to the NIH must include the PMCID when citing applicable papers that they author or that arise from their NIH-funded research.The PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) is not the same as a PMID. PMIDs have nothing to do with the NIH Public Access Policy.
Additionally, all NIH funded researchers MUST:
- Create a MyNCBI account that is linked to your eRA Commons account
- Within MyNCBI, add ALL NIH funded publications to My Bibliography
- Add all articles that resulted from funding that you are a PI for, even if you are not an author
- Add peer-reviewed articles from research funded by NIH, even if they are NOT in PubMed
- Monitor your compliance in My Bibliography using the Awards display
- Address articles marked with a red dot or question mark
- Edit status of articles
- Add grants
- Generate Research Performance Progress Reports from My Bibliography.
