My NCBI 

My NCBI is a tool that retains user information and database preferences to provide customized services for many services operated by the National Library of Medicine's National Center for Biotechnology Information, including PubMedPubMed Central and SciENcv. With a My NCBI account you can select display formats, set filtering options, and save automatic searches with results sent by e-mail. My NCBI also includes the bibliography management system My Bibliography

My Bibliography

My Bibliography

You must claim your citations in My Bibliography and associate your papers with any NIH awards that are associated with your paper. 

With My Bibliography you can save your citations (journal articles, books/chapters, patents, presentations, and meetings) directly from PubMed or, if not found there, you can manually enter the citations using My Bibliography templates. NIH extramural investigators use My Bibliography to track compliance with the NIH public access policy and report peer-reviewed publications to NIH.
