PubMed Search Guide: MyNCBI

Overview of My NCBI

 The My NCBI feature (link in upper right corner of PubMed home page) allows one to

    • Save search strategies in order to run them at a later date (check for new citations)
    • Receive automatic e-mail updates on saved search strategies
    • Set preferences for searching PubMed
      one may then group search results (such as human, English, clinical trials, reviews, etc.)

  • Save results in collections

Instructions on the above features (and many more) are available at My NCBI Help Topics
