The public access policy applies to investigators if their article is based on research that meets one or more of the following conditions:
• Directly funded by an NIH grant or cooperative agreement active in Fiscal Year 2008 (October 1, 2007- September 30, 2008) or beyond • Directly funded by a contract signed on or after April 7, 2008 • Directly funded by the NIH Intramural Program • If NIH pays the investigator’s salary
How do I know if the journal will submit the article for me?
If you publish in one of these journals, you do not have to submit the article yourself unless the journal fails to meet all the submission conditions.
If the journal deposits the final published article and makes it available within 12 months of publication, you do not need to take further action.
If the journal deposits the final published article but does not make it available within 12 months of publication, you will need to deposit the article yourself.
If the journal deposits the final peer-reviewed manuscript but not the final article, you will be contacted by the NIH to log on to the NIH Manuscript Submission system to review and approve release of the article to PubMed Central.
What if the journal will not submit my article for me?
You are responsible for:
1. Informing the journal that your article is subject to the Public Access Policy when submitting it for publication
2. Making sure that any copyright transfer or other publication agreements you make with the journal allow the article to be submitted to PubMed Central
3. Submitting your article to PubMed Central within 12 months of publication.
What if I don’t want to submit the article myself?
You may ask someone else to act as a third-party submitter, but the Principal Investigator will still need to approve the release of the submitted manuscript.
How do I submit an article to PubMed Central?
You must sign on to the NIH Manuscript Submission system
(http://www.nihms.nih.gov/) and deposit the manuscript files into the system. After you indicate the NIH award(s) to which the article is related, your deposited files will be converted into a standard PubMed Central format, and you will be emailed to review the newly formatted article and approve its release.
Don’t forget!
Starting May 25, you will be required to include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) each time you cite your NIH-funded articles in NIH applications, proposals, or progress reports.
List the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) at the end of the journal citation for the article. If a PubMed Central reference number is not yet available, use the NIH Manuscript Submission system reference number (NIHMS ID) instead.
