NIH Public Access - Manuscript Submission
New Requirements for Public Access
to NIH-supported Research: On 12/26/07, The Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) requiring NIH to make public
the results of any research it supports was signed. NIH released guidance on
the
Revised
Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from
NIH-Funded Research (NOT-OD-08-033), which stipulates, effective April 7, 2008, that
investigators funded by the NIH are required to submit to
PubMed Central (PMC), upon
acceptance for publication, an electronic version of their final,
peer-reviewed manuscripts, to be made publicly available no laterstrong
than 12 months after the official date of publication.
Note: The Policy does not apply to
non peer-reviewed materials such as correspondence, book
chapters, and editorials.
Citing Requirements: "As of May 25, 2008, when citing
an article in NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports that falls
under the Policy, and was authored or co-authored by you or arose from your NIH
award, you must include the PubMed Central reference number
(PMCID). If a PubMed Central reference number is not yet available,
include the NIH Manuscript Submission system reference number (NIHMS
ID) instead. This policy includes applications submitted to the NIH
for the May 25, 2008 due date and subsequent due dates." (Refer to: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c6)
