Check NIHs list to see if your journal depositshttp://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm 18. Some publishers have an arrangement with NIH to deposit specific articles on request. Author must request a specific article be deposited Publishers usually charge a fee See NIH list of participating publishershttp://publicaccess.nih.gov/select_deposit_publishers.htm#b 19. The author (or designee) must begin this process. Deposit manuscript in NIHMS Approve PMC-formatted manuscript NIHMS will receive an email with PMCID once assignedhttp://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process.htm#c 20. In some cases, the publisher submits the peer-reviewed manuscript to NIHMS, but the author must complete the process. Publisher provides authors contact information to NIHMS NIHMS will notify author when manuscript files are ready for reviewhttp://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process.htm#d 21. Several websites allow you to look up ajournals policies NIH website(http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm) SHERPA/RoMEOlist(http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php) If not on either list, check the journalswebsite 22. Address copyright Submit article to PMC Include PMCID in citations 23. You must include the PubMed Central ID(PMCID) when: citing an article in NIH applications,proposals, and progress reports the article was authored or co-authored byyou OR arose from your NIH award 24. If a PMCID is not yet available: For Method A or B use PMC Journal inProcess citation:Sala-Torra, O., et al., Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)expression and outcome in adult patients with acute lymphoblasticleukemia. Blood. 2007 April 1; 109(7): 30803083. PMCID: PMCJournal - In Process ForMethod C or D use NIHMSID up to 3 months after publication date:Cerrato A, Oliver B. Genetic interactions between Drosophilamelanogaster menin and Jun/Fos. Dev Biol. In press. NIHMSID:NIHMS44135http://publicaccess.nih.gov/citation_methods.htm 25. If you do not have the PMCID: Find the PMCID from PubMed (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so08/so08_skill_kit_pmcid.htm l) UsePMID/PMCID converter (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid) Findan embargoed article in PMC by using the Limits function 26. Use MyNCBIs My Bibliography Award View to manage compliance A red dot indicates that an article is non-compliant. A yellow dot means that the citation has been submitted to NIHMS and is in process. A green dot indicates that the citation is compliant. The PubMed Central ID (PMCID) number displays in this status. A question mark indicates that compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy cannot be determined without additional information. Click on the question mark icon or the "Edit Status" link to enter supporting information for the citation. Articles that were accepted for publication prior to April 7, 2008 and citations that are not journals are not covered by the NIH Public Access Policy.
