Is my Paper Collection private?
Yes, it is. Anything you upload to your paper collection is safe, secure, and private.
You can choose to share a paper with your colleagues or your entire lab by clicking the 'Recommend to someone' button on the paper record entry.
Is it safe for me to put up my lab data, protocols, and papers on Labmeeting?
Yes, all of the data you upload to Labmeeting is backed up many times, so you won't lose it.
Will data that I put up to my lab page be kept private?
Yes, the private page functionality (events, notes, notebook) of your Lab section on Labmeeting is private (only members of the Lab see it).
How do I remove a paper from the paper collection?
Click on the red 'edit record' link in each paper record. This will pop up a few links, including a red 'Remove' link. Click Remove and the paper record will be removed, after a confirmation.
How do I remove a paper from a folder?
Go to the paper record and click the orange x next to the name of the folder that you don't want this paper to associate with anymore.
How do I delete a folder from Labmeeting?
Deleting a folder won't delete the papers in it, it will just get rid of any mention of the folder name.
Currently the best way to get rid of a folder is to remove every instance of this folder from your paper records. This means that if you have three papers in the folder 'Proteins', to remove this folder from Labmeeting go to the three papers (by clicking the 'Proteins' link in the folders section of the Paper Collection) and remove each paper from the 'Proteins' folder by clicking the orange x next to 'Proteins'.
Many of the papers I want to upload to Labmeeting don't integrate with PubMed, what do I do about that?
We've gotten a lot of feedback on this issue and will work towards integrating Labmeeting with other databases of papers, or compiling our own (let us know if you want to help). However, even if your papers aren't on PubMed, because we allow full text search of your paper collection, you can still search for all the authors, journals, keywords you want, and organize your paper collection through search (kind of like GMail does with emails).
You can also enter a Manual Citation for papers that don't match with PubMed.
