Getting your papers from MyNCBI into iCite

I’ve been asked about how best to move the papers in one’s MyNCBI profile into iCite, so I’ve put together a resource to help out with that. You don’t have to do this yourself–if you have a delegate help out with managing your MyNCBI profile, they can also follow these steps without even logging in

Step 1:

Visit your public MyNCBI profile (this needs to be enabled in your MyNCBI settings). Here’s mine for an example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/bruce%20ian.hutchins.1/bibliography/public/

Step 2:

Click the selection checkbox above the article table to select all articles:

Step 3:

Click the “Manage citations” button:

Step 4:

Click “Export file (PMID)”

Step 5:

After the file opens, go to iCite at https://icite.od.nih.gov

Step 6:

Click the “New Analysis” button on top:

Step 7:

Either click the “Browse” button under the “Upload a spreadsheet of PMIDs” button and select the file that you exported from MyNBCI, or open that file up, select all the PMIDs, copy them, and paste them into the box labeled “Input a list of PMIDs”

Step 8:

You should see data visualizations and statistics about your papers. If you want to create a sharable link that you can bookmark, clicke the “Export” button:

Step 9:

Click “Shareable link”

Step 10:

Click “Copy” to copy it to your clipboard. You can visit that URL and bookmark it, share it with people, etc. Be sure to re-generate a new link with your new papers when you update your MyNCBI bibliography!
