PMCID as a new field for any entry

Features
1

Hello!

I need to reference PMCID in all NIH proposals and bio-sketches. Right now, i don’t see any way to do that. Please note that PMID is different and does exist and is accessible through Options>Customize Entry Types. Can you please add PMCID, - or better still - permit the user to add a new type not already listed in the dropdown box.
Thanks!

Nat

Hello @nataraj , this is already possible :slight_smile:

Go to options>customize entry types, then

This is what you are asking for, right?

Hi ThiloteE, thanks for the response. But I don’t want a new entry type (meaning a new article/book/etc.). What I need is to be able to add a new field to @article (for example). So, the bib file, after adding the new field would need to look like this for example. Note the new field pmcid = {}.

Thanks!

But that doesn’t work. The ‘+’ works only if it is a field that is already defined and is in the dropdown box. If would be great if you let me know if it works for you in which case I will reinstall Jabref and try.

It works on

JabRef 5.6–2022-01-30–8ca6b7f
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 16.0.2
JavaFX 17.0.2-ea+3

Could be that you have to restart Jabref before the changes in the preferences (options > customize entry types) takes effect.

The combo-box is editable, you can freely add any text there for custom, non existing fields
