Using Collections Option

This module continues the mastering of the skills necessary to utilize the PubMed database as means to identify e-journals within HINARI. It will highlight the option to receive MY NCBI email alerts that contain journal citations on subject searches of your choice. Note that these alerts will not contain the full-text article. You will need to LOGIN to HINARI and locate the specific article using the Journals collection A-Z list. The module also discusses the MY NCBI Collections and My Bibliography options.

Similarly to the other modules, you will need access to the Internet and be required to complete a series of exercises. You will login directly to PubMed.

Connecting to PubMed

To register for MY NCBI, go to the regular PubMed website (not HINARI/PubMed): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/. There are technical issues that prevent registrations from HINARI/PubMed.

The home page for PubMed displays giving you access to PubMed databases.

This workbook will guide you through the My NCBI functions in PubMed along with the additional features available to you. There are exercises incorporated within the workbook to illustrate the different features along with additional exercises to practice at the end of the workbook.

Tip!

If you use the back button on your browser while navigating around PubMed you may find that you need to use the “refresh” feature in order to re-display the webpage.

My NCBI and how to register

This initial My NCBI feature allows you to setup filter tabs in your display area, save searches, and set-up automatic email alerts to new articles added to PubMed.

1 HINARI ACCESS TO RESEARCH PROGRAMME PUBMED MY NCBI

Click on Register for an Account and follow the instructions. Make sure you save/write down your username and password. When the form has been submitted, NCBI will send you an email containing a link to verify your email address. It is important to complete the registration and verify the email address before saving searches within MY NCBI.

3. Setting up filters in My NCBI

Filter tabs allow My NCBI users to identify sets of articles within search results. There are common filter tabs that will identify Clinical Trials, Review articles, Free full text articles, English Language articles, and articles with Abstracts. There are also tables for Linkout collections such as the HINARI collection.

To access filters, open the Manage Filters section in the Filters Box of the MY NCBI page. Make sure you retain the Filters for PubMed option.

Once the Manage Filters page is displayed, you can choose as many filters as you want. Make sure you choose the Free Full Text filter.

Exercise 1

Open PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/).
Login to My NCBI with your username and password. The login is in the top/right corner of PubMed.

Note: If you have not registered, follow the instructions noted on the slides in the My NCBI PowerPoint presentation or Section 2 of this workbook. In many workshops, this is done during the presentation.

Open the Manage Filters in the Filters box on the My NCBI page.
Make sure you retain the Filters for PubMed option. Check the box next to the Free Full Text Filter.
You also may add more Filters (e.g. English, Humans)
Return to your MY NCBI homepage by clicking on either MY NCBI hyperlink that is next to your name or the My NCBI logo.

To choose the HINARI filter, you will need to search filters in the LINKOut category.

Note: these two filters are used to create the HINARI and Free Full Text tabs that appear when a HINARI/PubMed search is completed. They now will appear on any My NCBI searches that you complete.

4. Saving Searches in My NCBI

When you are logged into My NCBI while using PubMed, you have the option to select Save Search(es). Once you have saved a search you can opt to run the search in the future yourself, or to have MyNCBI run the search automatically and email you the results.
