PubMed Made Simple

This is a guide on how to search PubMed, the world's largest database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics.

PubMed: Save, Email, Send to

The Save, Email, and Send to buttons are now available to use from anywhere on the Search Results and Clipboard pages.

The Send to: menu can be used to send or copy PubMed records to the following locations:

  • Clipboard – It's a tool to store records; and do something with before you sign out or close PubMed.
  • My Bibliography- It's a reference tool that helps you save your citations. 
  • Collections – Use Collections to build collections of records, to save indefinitely. See Collections for more details.
  • Citation Manager- Use Send to: Citation Manager to export citations as an .nbib file that can be used by many citation management programs.

To apply the Send to options to your search results, make sure you are logged in to your personal "MyNCBI" account.

PubMed: Email Citations

Email up to 1,000 citations

You can email up to 1,000 citations at a time. Batches of more than 200 citations will be divided into multiple emails.

Email Citations

  • Use the check boxes to select citations from your search results or Clipboard. You may move to other pages and continue your selections.
  • Click the Email button.
  • Enter an email address. Select which citations to send and the format.
  • Click Send email. The system returns you to your results page and displays a confirmation e-mail sent message.
  • Your citations will be sent from the NCBI automatic mail server with the sender's email address [nobody@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]. Do not reply to this message, as this is not a functioning customer service email address and is not monitored. (See the images below)
    The CAPTCHA image does not display for users who are signed in to My NCBI.
