Using EndNote to Manage NIHMSID and PMCID Numbers

NIH applications, proposals and progress reports need to have PubMed Central IDs (PMCIDs) in the reference lists. For those who use EndNote, this new requirement is easy to automate.

Go to http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/import/faq15.asp to download the new PubMed connection file, import filter and output style. Be sure to read carefully and follow the instructions to modify a field in the preferences section.

For guidance about which references need to have the PMCIDs, see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c8

For guidance about how to find the PMCIDs, see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c9
