Updating Publications using PubMed On-Demand Update

Objective

This tutorial explains how to manually update publications in Research Logix using the PubMed on-demand update feature. While Research Logix automatically updates linked publications twice daily, this guide provides steps for initiating an update manually when needed.

Key Steps

1. Access the PubMed On-Demand Update Tool

   • Navigate to the Publication Workspace.

   • Select PubMed On-Demand Update.

2. Initiate the Update Process

   • Click PubMed Data On-Demand to start the update.

   • The system will locate all publications linked to your account and update them based on the latest data available on PubMed.

3. Review Updated Information

   • The update will refresh details such as:

     • Title

     • Authors

     • Journal

     • PMCID

     • Abstract

     • And other relevant metadata

Cautionary Notes

• The automated update runs twice daily, so manual updates should only be performed when necessary.

• The update process may take some time, depending on the number of linked publications.

• Ensure that publications are properly linked to your account for the update to work correctly.

Tips for Efficiency

• Use the on-demand update feature only when immediate updates are required.

• Verify publication details after an update to ensure accuracy.

• If frequent manual updates are required, review the automated process to confirm it's working effectively.
