How do I create an account in PubMed to save searches?
To save a PubMed search strategy, you need to create an account within PubMed. You have a few options to choose from including using: eRA Commons, a personal Google Account, an ORCiD account, Login.gov, a Microsoft account, an NIH Account, or other options through an institution, college or university email address listed on PubMed.
The recommended method is to use your personal Drexel email account that links to My NCBI. Follow these steps:
- Go to PubMed's My NCBI account sign up page
- Click “More sign up options”. This takes you to a listing of institutions.
- Choose Drexel University if you would like to use your Drexel email/login.
- Find it quickly by using your browser search function; search for Drexel.
Next, to save your search strategy:
- Once you are logged into your personal My NCBI account in PubMed, construct and run your search.
- Then click “Create Alert” either below the main search box or within the History and Search Details page.
- You will see an option to “Would you like e-mail updates of new search results?”. Select no if you do not want updates, or select yes for updates and choose how frequently you want results sent to your email.
- Now in your Account, you will see a Dashboard page. This is where you will see your Saved Searches to retrieve at any time.
