Using Labmeeting: Uploading and Matching

It’s been a while since we blogged here, and we thought the best thing we could do for our users is start writing some posts that help explain and clarify all the different useful things you can do on Labmeeting.

Perhaps the most basic and fundamental of these is adding a paper to your collection.  Labmeeting allows you to take the jumble of PDFs on your hard drive and make sense of them.

You start on your Labmeeting Dashboard and click on "upload a paper"

Then you select a file for uploading by first clicking on the "Upload" button. You can select multiple PDFs by using Shift+click

First the file uploads . . .

Then Labmeeting tries to figure out what citation the PDF corresponds to in PubMed

The simplest thing that can happen is that the citation matches correctly and automatically to the PDF, and you’re off to the races.  Next time, we’ll discuss the various cases in detail, since some of them are more complicated.
