PubMed: Saving Into Collections Now One Step

You can now save citations from a PubMed search directly into your MyNCBI Collections using the Send to dropdown menu. Simply place a checkmark next to the citation(s) you want to save and then select Collections from the "Send to" drop down menu. Most pop-up blockers will still block the Collections window before it opens up, but a handy link to open the window is provided in a pink message on the page. Just click on that and you can save the citations into a new collection or append (add) them to an existing collection. If you are not yet signed in to your MyNCBI account, you'll be prompted to do so first.

This used to be a two-step process involving first saving to Clipboard and then saving to Collections. Many thanks to the folks at NCBI for simplifying this process!
