The Library of the Health Sciences wants to make faculty, staff and students aware of the recently adopted NIH Public Access Policy . This policy ensures that the public has access to the final, peer-reviewed, published results of NIH funded research. It requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health. The NIH Public Access Website: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ has been established to facilitate the process.
On December 26, 2007, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) was signed and directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide public access to its funded research. This new mandate requires researchers funded by NIH to submit their manuscripts to PubMed Central. Scientists who publish in journals that do not submit articles directly to PubMed Central must deposit their manuscripts no later than 12 months after the official date of publication.
Please check this policy information sheet for further details and links to pertinent websites for submission of articles. If you have further questions about the NIH Public Access Policy , please e-mail PublicAccess@nih.gov or contact Judy Rieke, 77-4129 or jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu for assistance.
