- My NCBI: The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, is a leader in the field of bioinformatics; it studies computational approaches to fundamental questions in biology and provides online delivery of biomedical information and bioinformatics tools. NCBI hosts approximately 40 online literature and molecular biology databases—including PubMed, PubMed Central, and GenBank—that serve millions of users around the world.
- ORCID: ORCID identifiers (iDs) are unique digital identifiers that distinguish individual researchers and that can be used to connect researchers with their professional contributions over time and across changes of name, location, and institutional affiliation. They have been widely adopted by publishers and research databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Dimensions, which means they are seen by searchers around the world. Having an iD and maintaining your contributions in it helps ensure that all of your published writings, code, and data are correctly associated with you throughout your career.
