NIH Public Access Policy Reminder

The Kresge Library advises researchers that any peer-reviewed National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded article must be deposited into PubMed Central (PMC) upon acceptance by the journal, as required by the NIH Public Access Policy and as a "Term & Condition" of all NIH grants. A PubMed Central ID (PMCID) is required for most articles listed on NIH grants and progress reports. PMCIDs are assigned once a manuscript’s deposit process is complete.

To comply, the corresponding author and/or principal investigator must take multiple actions “before, during, and after” publication of an NIH-funded article: before submitting the manuscript to the journal, during the deposit process, and after acceptance by the journal.

Kresge Library staff can assist researchers and administrative staff with the PMC submission process. Contact staff for help in locating existing PMCIDs, identifying published articles that require PMCIDs, submitting manuscripts to PMC, and using tools such as EndNote and MyNCBI to track compliance for an NIH grant.

For additional information on the NIH Public Access Policy or for assistance with compliance, consult the Kresge Library’s NIH Public Access Policy webpage or contact the Kresge Library Help Desk at x8705.

NIH Public Access Policy - Publisher Database

Check out the Library's new publisher policies database to assist you in complying with the NIH Public Access Policy. We've started with the top 100 journals TSRI authors publish in.

If you are unfamiliar with the NIH Public Access Policy and are submitting papers funded by NIH, please see the Library's informational websiteor go directly to NIH's site.

The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. To help advance science and improve human health, the Policy requires that these papers are accessible to the public on PubMed Central no later than 12 months after publication.

PMCID's and the NIH Public Access Policy

To comply with the NIH's Public Access Policy, a PMCID number is required in NIH grant applications, proposals and progress reports for any paper "authored by you or arose from your NIH funds (even if you are not an author)" http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c8.

One way to find the PMCID number is to use PubMed Central's PMID : PMCID Converter available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid .

If you already have the PMID from a PubMed search (it may appear as the
Accession Number in your EndNote library), the above converter will
provide you with the corresponding PMCID to include in your grant.

If you do not have the PMID number, you can look up PMCID's in PubMed. It will be listed in the lower right corner of the AbstractPlus view. A PMCID number will be assigned as soon as an article has successfully been submitted to PMC. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c9

If you have questions about the NIH Public Access Policy, the Library's
web site outlining the key points is available at: http://www.scripps.edu/library/nihpolicy.html.

The NIH Public Access Policy web site is available at: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm

You may contact NIH with your questions about compliance by sending an email to PublicAccess@nih.gov - response time is usually within 24 to 48 hours.
