Import Scholarly Contributions from Medline/PubMed
Citations can be imported from Medline/PubMed into Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180). FAR uses a sophisticated algorithm to compare imported Scholarly Contributions & Creative Productions with existing database activities, highlighting potential duplicates for faculty members.
To import a citation from an external source, you must comply with usage restrictions and review any terms of use or license agreements. The safest method is to obtain written permission; if that is not possible, avoid importing citations.
