The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit journal articles that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central. The Policy requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health.

Note: PMCID# from PubMed Central is not the same as PMID# from Medline.

Important Dates
April 7, 2008 As of April 7, 2008, all articles arising from NIH funds must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication.

May 25, 2008 As of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number when citing an article that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator, or arose from the investigator's NIH award. This policy includes applications submitted to the NIH for the May 25, 2008 due date and subsequent due dates.

Some Practical Clarifications on the NIH
Published papers that were accepted for publication before April 7, 2008 and reported in reports/proposals submitted to NIH will be assumed to fall OUTSIDE the public access requirements and therefore no need for PMCID#.

In press papers in reports/proposals submitted to NIH over the summer will be assumed to fall WITHIN the public access requirements. If no PMCID# is provided for such papers, the PI will be contacted by NIH.


If/when a published paper is determined to fall OUTSIDE the public access requirements, there is no need to state/explain that determination.
