New EndNote Filter & Connection File to Capture PMCID (PubMed Central Identification Number)

As you may know, the new NIH Public Access Policy requires scientists to submit journal final peer-reviewed manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to PubMed Central(PMC). NIH funded authors are required to include the PMCID on reports and grant-related documents.

I've configured EndNote PubMed Filter and Connection Files to capture the PMCID. Until I can make them available as downloadable files you can contact me to request them. I can send as a file attachment which you can just download into the appropriate EndNote folder.

  1. How about Zotero? Does it capture the PMCID?

  2. At the moment Zotero does not capture the PMCID from PubMed. It does however scrape it from PubMed Central.

    Because many of the articles hosted by PubMed Central have DOI numbers as well, the PMCID appears in the 'extra' field of the saved item.
