Public Access to NIH Supported Research -2005 Recap

• NIH-supported research is essential to improving human health

• Public Access to information resulting from this research is vital

– Results should be made available to the public

– It demonstrates output resulting from taxpayer funded research

NLM

What is the NIH Public Access Program?

• Applies to NIH grantees and intramural researchers

• Requests deposit of final manuscript of paper accepted for publication

• Author negotiates permissions with publisher and defines PMC release date

• NLM does XML tagging of articles

• Author approves tagged version of article

• Regular PMC journals satisfy policy if research articles are free within 12 months of publication

NLM

NIH Manuscript Submission System

• Author deposits began May 2, 2005

• Voluntary submissions by NIH funded authors

• Third party deposits began in July 2005
