When linked to an eRA Commons account, My Bibliography allows eRA Commons users who have awarded grants in their portfolio to do the following:
Anyone submitting an application, proposal, or report to the NIH must include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) when citing applicable papers that arise from their NIH-funded research.
The PMCID (when assigned) can be found in PubMed. Articles that do not yet have a PMCID are provisionally compliant for up to 3 months after publication, and will have a status of "in process at NIHMS" or "PMC Journal in Process" (methods A and B) prior to receiving a PMCID, after which they will be coded as "Complete."
NIH awardees are responsible for ensuring that all steps of the NIHMS submission process are complete, including having the PMCID assigned, within 3 months of the publication of the article. Articles are non-compliant if they do not have a PMCID 3 months after the publication date.
PMID ≠ PMCID
