Actions

The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to published results of NIH funded research on PubMed Central (PMC).  There are several ways in which authors may submit papers to PMC (see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process.htm), including submitting papers via the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS).

The NIHMS is currently able to process only papers that are written in Latin (Roman) script.  Acceptable papers also may contain characters and fonts used in standard mathematical notation.  However, until further technical solutions are developed, papers written in scripts other than Latin (e.g., Russian, Japanese) cannot be processed by NIHMS and are not required to be posted on PubMed Central.  Papers written in scripts other than Latin do not require a PMCID when cited in NIH applications, proposals or reports.
