Connection to Pubmed
Author: Alexis Musacchio Lasa    Posted: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:35:00 -0800
Dear Colleagues, I have opened the Ref Manager 11 to connect to Pubmed to import references. I have configured hosts properties but it doesn't connect to Pubmed. Server Address: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (default) or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Search: entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed (default) or entrez/utils/pmqty.fcgi?db=m&mode=text Retrieve: entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=%s&retmode=text&rettype=medline (default) or entrez/utils/pmfetch.fcgi?db=PubMed&report=medline&mode=text Link URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dop t=Citation&list_uids=%s (default) or entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation Authentication: **Uncheck** username and password (default) Can I have another configuration? or other tips to help me?

Do you have to go through a firewall? I found I had to get our IT department to change the firewall to connect through Sarah Cage Senior Scientific Information Specialist NPIS (Birmingham Centre) Birmingham UK e-mail: "s.cage" ----- Original Message ----- From: <"Alexis.Musacchio.La"@cigb.edu.cu] To: "RIS-List" Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 11:35 PM Subject: <RefMan> Connection to Pubmed > > Dear Colleagues, > > I have opened the Ref Manager 11 to connect to Pubmed to import > references. > > I have configured hosts properties but it doesn't connect to Pubmed. > > > > Server Address: > http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (default) or > > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov > > > > Search: > entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi?db=pubmed (default) or > > entrez/utils/pmqty.fcgi?db=m&mode=text > > > > Retrieve: > entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=%s&retmode=text&rettype=medline > (default) or > > entrez/utils/pmfetch.fcgi?db=PubMed&report=medline&mode=text > > Link URL: > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dop > t=Citation&list_uids=%s (default) or > entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation > > > Authentication: **Uncheck** username and password (default) > > > > Can I have another configuration? or other tips to help me? > > > > Alexis Musacchio > > Department of Bioinformatics > > Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Havana, Cuba > > >

Dear Dr. Musacchio, If from within RefMan, you go to References, Internet Search, and change the option to "PubMed", and then do your search, and nothing works, I'm afraid there's a real possibility that your domain (.cu , Cuba) is blocked from accessing PubMed for political reasons. U.S. researchers aren't allowed to go to scientific conferences in your country, and it wouldn't surprise me if U.S. government resources (such as PubMed) are blocked to those operating from a .cu domain. I believe there are only five countries on this "bad boy" list. And if it strikes you as absurd that Cuba has been on it for four decades--well, it is absurd. But I'm sure you understand the importance of Florida in U.S. presidential elections, and Cuban emigres are a very large (and vocal) part of the population there, and they do NOT like the idea of the U.S. normalizing relations with your country... Nor can I offer to do your searches for you and send you the results--such a gesture on my part would be grounds for immediate and automatic termination, as I work for state government. Perhaps one of our Canadian compatriots can be of more assistance. Regretfully, Karyn Popham Texas, USA
