To link your Commons account to My NCBI select the eRA Commons button on the NCBI log in page; enter your Commons credentials; and then follow the My NCBI instructions for linking to an existing My NCBI account.
My Bibliography is a reference tool available from the My NCBI account. It lets authors save their citations to a centralized location. When the My NCBI account is linked to an eRA Commons account, it lets authors manage public access compliance for their publications, including associating awards with publications and editing compliance status. Get detailed instructions and screenshots from the My Bibliography section of the NCBI Help Manual.
Upon acceptance of publication, add the paper to your Commons-linked My Bibliography as a forthcoming paper. Next, associate the appropriate award to the paper. This lets you track the paper's compliance status via My Bibliography.
