Try the new My NCBI Feature: SciENcv
Sep 26, 2013

The National Institutes of Health has issued an invitation to researchers to test the beta version of the Science Experts Network (SciENcv). SciENcv is a new feature available in My NCBI that helps users create an online professional profile that can be made public to share with others. The addition of this new feature complements My NCBI’s My Bibliography which aids users in managing a list of their citations (journal articles, books/chapters, patents, presentations and meetings) which can be saved directly from PubMed or manually added using My Bibliography templates.
