PMC Open Access Subset The PMC Open Access Subset is a relatively small part of the total collection of articles in PMC. Articles in the PMC Open Access Subset are still protected by copyright, but are made available under a Creative Commons or similar license that generally allows more liberal redistribution and reuse than a traditional copyrighted work. Please refer to the license statement in each article for specific terms of use. The license terms are not identical for all articles in this subset. Note that:
The PMC Open Access Subset includes articles from the following publishers' programs, each of which deposits selected articles from a range of journals:
In addition to these selective deposit programs, a number of the journals that deposit their complete contents in PMC include some or all their articles in the open access subset. These journals are marked with the symbol in PMC's Full Journal List. Use the PMC-OAI service to download XML for the full text of articles in this open access subset. Use the PMC FTP service to download a complete set of files — XML, images, PDF, and supplementary data files, if any — for articles in this subset. For users who are interested in just the XML, the FTP service also has a single zip file containing the XML files for all the articles in the open access subset. |
