My NCBI

To access the settings for a My NCBI account, first login to the account  click on the account username in the upper right hand corner of any My NCBI or My NCBI site page and select "Account settings" from the menu.

Account settings include the ability to change email contact preferences, adding additional third party credentials, and setting delegates for My Bibliography/SciENcv.

One My NCBI account can be made a delegate of another My NCBI account. This allows the delegate account to control the primary account's My Bibliography citations or its SciENcv produced biosketches. 

Delegate control of an account may be set in the Account Settings of the host account. Once the delegate confirms via email that they wish to accept they will see options in their portlets to add citations or biosketches to the host account's My Bibliography and SciENcv.

Note: Dykes Librarians will not serve as delegates on My NCBI accounts.

My NCBI common and site specific preferences can be adjusted using the "NCBI Site Preferences" link at the top of the My NCBI dashboard. This includes preferences for popular NCBI sites such as PubMed and PubMed Central.

When searching in a My NCBI database while logged into a My NCBI account text in an article's record that has met conditions of a search may be highlighted for easy reference.

A bold or highlighted option may be selected under "Common Preferences," clicking on "Highlighting," and then selecting the desired appearance.
