The data shown is drawn from many sources, some of them directly entered by the profile owner or by a data curator on their behalf, while others are drawn from other sources via integrations. Those sources include SAP, PubMed, BU\/BMC Sponsored Programs, NIH RePORTER, ORCID, YouTube, X, and others.
