If you use an NCBI account to access your PubMed MyNBCI account, MyBibliography or SciENcv, you will need to transition to a linked account that is managed by MCW, eRA Commons, or Google. NCBI managed accounts will be going away June 22, 2021. Transitioning to a new account will not affect the actual data in your account, such as your MyBibliography or SciENcv. The only thing that is changing are the credentials you use to access your account.
