- What is the Faculty Bibliography?
The purpose of the Bibliography is to track
publications of NYU School of Medicine faculty in a single easy
to use database. The Faculty Bibliography includes publications of all NYU
School of Medicine faculty of the rank of assistant professor or higher. It also includes
publications of faculty of the rank lecturer who have choosen to participate.
The Faculty Bibliography is closely linked with School of Medicine's
online
Faculty BioSketch pages
.
The BioSketch pages are a place for faculty to describe their
research and clinical interests in their own words.
The NYU School of Medicine Faculty Bibliography is a service of the
Ehrman Digital Library which is the electronic arm of the
Ehrman Medical Library.
- What's included?
The Faculty Bibliography endeavors to include all formally published
works (articles, chapters, books, etc.) written by eligible faculty. It does not
include "preprint", "in press", "submitted", or "accepted" publications.
For inclusion, the faculty member must be named as an author in the
publication. Meeting abstracts that are posted on society web sites, but not formally published, will be
included if an accurate url is provided.
The Library's objective is a truly comprehensive bibliography. We are continually
working to add citations and otherwise improve the data and its usability.
We encourage all faculty and departments to make every effort to ensure that they
are fully and fairly represented in the Bibliography. The best way to do this
is for individual faculty to regularly review their listings and submit additions
and corrections via
My e-Connect.
- Where do the citations come from?
Citations are gathered from various online databases, most prominently Medline and
MEDCat
(the Library's online catalog). Citations also come from
Biological Abstracts, EMBASE,
Web of Science,, PsychInfo and other databases.
These databases are available for searching
via the Ehrman Medical Library's
web site.
The Bibliography also contains citations to published works
that do not appear in online databases, but which have been identified
and suggested by faculty themselves and verified by the Library.
- Some of my publications are
missing. How can I get them added?
Unfortunately, it's impossible for us to catch and include every faculty
publication as soon as it appears in print.
Among other things, there is always a time lag between publication
and inclusion in online citation databases.
The Library always welcomes submissions and corrections from the faculty. You may
drop off citations at the Library Information Desk or you
may use
My e-Connect.
- Some of the publications listed under my name are not mine.
How can I get them removed?
Matching faculty names against published citations is at best an
inexact process. Please let us know about any problems of this nature you encounter.
The Library always welcomes corrections from the faculty. You may
drop off corrections at the Library Information Desk or you
may use

- Understanding Publications in MyInfo
MyInfo gives the individual faculty member the ability to review and correct their entries in the NYU School of Medicine Faculty
Bibliography. In addition it shows recent additions to the national Pubmed database that the individual faculty member may want to add
to their listings.
Under the MyInfo Publications Tab you will see two types of entries:
- Faculty Bibliography entries. These appear in black. These are citations that are currently in the Faculty Bibliography.
Beneath each citation there are two options:
- Display in Biosketch? - If this option is checked the citation in will appear in faculty member's School of Medicine
Biosketch page (if s/he has one).
- Not my paper. Remove from the bibliography. - If this option is checked the citation will be entirely removed from the
Faculty Bibliography.
|
- Pubmed entries. These appear in green. These citations are publications added to Pubmed during the last 60 days that appear to
be authored by the faculty member. These citations are NOT actually part of the Faculty Bibliography. They are provided as a
convenience. Because author names are often ambiguous it's common that articles included are not in fact by the correct author.
Beneath each citation there are two options:
- Display in Biosketch? - If this option is checked the citation in will appear in faculty member's School of Medicine
Biosketch page (if she has one). Checking this option will have no effect unless the following option ("Add to my bibliography") is
also checked.
- New from Pubmed. Add to my bibliography. - If this option is checked the Pubmed citation will added to the Faculty
Bibliography. If this option is not checked the Pubmed citation will be ignored.

- Can I get statistical data from the Faculty Bibliography?
Yes. A
general report is available.
If you have a specific statistical question that you need answered,
please contact the
Faculty Bibliography Administrator to discuss a
customized statistical report.
