Have You Created Your NIH Biosketch Using SciENcv?

SciENcv is an optional tool designed to facilitate the creation of biosketches for NIH and NSF grant applications and annual progress reports.  MSK Librarians understand how busy you are so “How-to-Instructions” (.pdf version available as well!) have been developed for researchers who decide to use this tool.

Check out the “MyNCBI: SciENcv” tab located on the MSK NIH Public Access LibGuide.  This page was organized to include the following sections with training and support materials embedded in each section:

  • What is SciENcv?
  • Steps to Setup My Bibliography
  • Steps to Setup SciENcv
  • Steps to Setup SciENcv (via Delegate)
  • Additional Related Training and Support Materials

This page was updated recently to include the July 2015 webinar entitled “Creating Your NIH Biosketch with SciENcv” (31.56 min) and instructions for users to help them convert biosketches from the former NIH biographical sketch to the new format.

Try the Citation Linker When Looking for the Full Text of an Article

If you are looking to access the full text of an article and you already have the citation information, our Citation Linker service is a great option. You can regularly access it from the Article Tab on the MSK Library website (see the link below the search box). Depending on how much information you enter, you can access a journal, issue, or specific article. If we do not have a subscription to a particular article, it will direct you to Document Delivery Services, where it will fill out the form with the information that you entered, and the article will be delivered to you when it is available.

For any questions you have about this service, contact us at 212-639-7439 or asklibrarian@mskcc.org.
