4. Purpose of the Policy Archive: Create a central collection of NIH-funded research Advance: Provide an information resource for scientists to research publications and for the NIH to better manage its entire research investment Access: Makes available to the public research publications resulting from NIH-funded research

5. Benefits of the Policy The legislation broadens access to and dissemination of the scholarly record. Making the results of federally funded research publicly accessible is important not only to NIH, but also to:  achieving UC’s mission as a public university to create and disseminate knowledge for the betterment of our global society through commitment of academic freedom, including open access to information.

6. The policy applies to any final manuscript that: –Is peer-reviewed –Is accepted for publication in a journal on or after April 7, 2008 –Arises from: Any direct funding from an NIH grant or cooperative agreement active in Fiscal Year 2008 Any direct funding from an NIH contract signed on or after April 7, 2008 Any direct funding from the NIH Intramural Program

8. Single Best Source for Policy Details and Information : publicaccess.nih.gov

9. Policy Compliance 1.Address Copyright. 2.Submit to the NIH Manuscript Submission System. 3.Cite Articles: Include PubMed Central ID Number (PMCID) in NIH proposals and progress reports.

10. Address Copyright Institutions and investigators are responsible for ensuring full compliance with the Public Access Policy, including that any copyright or other agreements are consistent with submitting to PMC. Before an author signs a publication agreement or similar copyright transfer agreement, the author should make sure that the agreement allows the final published manuscript to be submitted to NIH in accordance with the Public Access Policy.

11. The Copyright Transfer Agreement Advice to Faculty: Read the copyright transfer agreement before you sign it and make sure it allows you to submit your final peer-reviewed manuscript to PubMed Central within twelve months of publication or less.

12. The Copyright Transfer Agreement If you are unsure whether the agreement allows you to comply with the policy, insert this language into the copyright transfer agreement: Journal acknowledges that Author retains the right to provide a copy of the final manuscript to the NIH upon acceptance for Journal publication, for public archiving in PubMed Central as soon as possible but no later than 12 months after publication by Journal. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c3

13. The Tucker Letter UC investigators must enclose the letter signed by William Tucker, executive director of the Office of Technology Transfer and Research Administration in the University of California Office of the President, with any articles submitted to publishers for possible publication. Copy of the Tucker letter may be found at the UCLA Library web site http://www2.library.ucla.edu/libraries/11891.cfm

14. Policy Compliance 1.Address Copyright. 2.Submit to the NIH Manuscript Submission System. 3.Cite Articles: Include PubMed Central ID Number (PMCID) in NIH proposals and progress reports.

15. How to Submit Two Ways (4 methods): 1.Publisher deposits articles in PubMed Central. 2.Author, or someone acting on behalf of the author, deposits the article through the NIH Manuscript Submission System. Regardless of who submits, the PI must verify and approve the manuscript personally via the NIH Manuscript Submission system.

16. 4 Submission Methods Method A - Journal deposits final published articles in PubMed Central without author involvement Method B - Author asks publisher to deposit specific final published article in PMC Method C - Author deposits final peer-reviewed manuscript in PMC via the NIHMS Method D – Publisher deposits manuscript; author approves and completes the process

17. Submission Method B Method B - Author asks publisher to deposit specific final published article in PMC Make arrangements to have a publisher deposit a specific final published article in PubMed Central View NIH-approved list of publisher programslist This is generally an “Open Choice” – author-pay model- which costs $$$

18. When to Submit If the journal you are publishing in:d does not automatically submit your manuscript to PubMed Central AND if the publisher allows you to comply with the NIH policy you need to submit it yourself to the NIH Manuscript Submission System: http://www.nihms.nih.gov/http://www.nihms.nih.gov/ Tutorials for the submission system are available: http://www.nihms.nih.gov/web-help/index.html http://www.nihms.nih.gov/web-help/index.html Look for [nihms] in email subject lines for communications about your submissions.

19. Checking Journal Policies Look for the journal on the list of journals that automatically submit final articles to PubMed Central: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm If the journal IS NOT on this list, check the journal Web site for a statement about the NIH policy, check the copyright transfer agreement, or personally contact the editor in chief and ask him/her. This information and more may be available at the SHERPA/RoMEO site: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php

20. Policy Compliance 1.Address Copyright. 2.Submit to the NIH Manuscript Submission System. 3.Cite Articles: Include PubMed Central ID Number (PMCID) in NIH proposals and progress reports.

21. PubMed Central vs. PubMed PubMed Central (PMC) is an electronic archive of full-text journal articles, offering free access to its contents. PMC contains more than half a million articles, most of which have a corresponding entry in PubMed. PubMed is a database of citations and abstracts for millions of articles from thousands of journals. It includes links to full- text articles in several thousand journal Web sites as well as to most of the articles in PubMed Central. PMCID is provided on PMC records as well as on PM citations.

22. PubMed Central ID The PubMed Central identification (PMCID) needs to be included: a)when citing an article in NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports that fall under the policy, AND b)Was authored or co-authored by you OR arose from your NIH award The PMCID is on the Abstract Plus display in PubMed.

28. Example with PMCID Varmus H, Klausner R, Zerhouni E, Acharya T, Daar A, Singer P. 2003. PUBLIC HEALTH: Grand Challenges in Global Health. Science 302(5644): 398–399. PMCID: PMC243493 Example with NIHMSID Cerrato, A., et al., Genetic interactions between Drosophila melanogaster menin and Jun/Fos. Dev Biol. 2006 Oct 1; 298(1): 59-70. NIHMSID: NIHMS44135 Example with PMCID in Process Sala-Torra, O., et al., Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression and outcome in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Blood. 2007 April 1; 109(7): 3080–3083. PMCID: PMC Journal - In Process Cite Articles Using PMCID

29. NIHMSID can only be used to show compliance for up to 3 months after a paper is published. After that, a PMCID must be used to demonstrate compliance. An NIHMSID will no longer be accepted for use if an applicable paper was published 3 or more months prior to an NIH application 1. National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research.

30. Methods for Locating PMCIDs Helpful Websites NIH Public Access Policy: Include PMCID in Citations http://publicaccess.nih.gov/citation_methods.htm Finding PMCIDs in PubMed http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so08/so08_skill_kit_pmcid.html http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so08/so08_skill_kit_pmcid.html PubMed Central Search Option for Embargoed Articles: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so09/so09_pmc_embargoed_articles.html

31. Misc. Issues Joint Authors or Multiple Grants –Refer to the NIH Public Access Policy FAQs http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm No PMCID and the journal article has already been published (NIH Compliance was not followed)

32. Joint Authors/ Multiple Grants Multiple authors – who is responsible for submitting the manuscript/paper? http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#e37 Primary or other joint authors does not have a NIH grant http://publicaccess.nih.gov/determine_applicability.htm

33. Obtaining a PMCID after the article has been published Use the Tucker letter to communicate with the Publisher http://www2.library.ucla.edu/libraries/11891.cfm Negotiate with the Publisher Will the Publisher deposit the article for you or Should you negotiate t& upload the article into NIHMS ?
