Adding PMCID to Literature Cited in a NIH grant proposal

seohara · 2025-01-11T00:30:49+00:00

Hi,

I am working on an NIH grant proposal. I imported several references from PubMed into Zotero. I am using the "National Institute of Health Research" citation style. I need to include the PMCID in the "Literature Cited" section of the proposal. The PMCID shows in the "Extra" window on Zotero. However, the PMCID is not included when I insert the bibliography into my proposal; just the doi. Can you help?

Thank you,
Sharon

NIHR is a UK agency, hence no PMCIDs. You're looking for this style:

I think the following style is designed to use PMCID, and if that does not exist, will fall back to PMID.

If your items in Zotero are missing their PMCIDs (which happens if you saved the item when it was first released), you can use this plugin to quickly fetch them

though a proper auto-update of all data will be nicer when implemented.
