Pub-Xel Worksheet

Your Pub-Xel Worksheet is a normal Excel file (.xlsx) for listing articles.


Create one

File → New Excel Template → choose where to save.

The first time, you get a simple starter file. Later, new worksheets use the columns you picked in Preferences → Worksheet.


Columns

Turn columns on or off in Preferences → Worksheet. Ref (PMID) is always included.

Common columns: Title, Journal, AuthorYear, Abstract, Citation, IF2025 (impact factor).

Each row is one article. Put the PMID in Ref, then use Import PubMed Data to fill the rest.
