Tonya Hines, CMIArt Director & Certified Medical IllustratorMayfield Medical Communications
3 New Developments
1. Mandatory NIH Public Access requirement2. Optional Open Access 3. Transfer of Copyright to figures
Mandatory NIH Public Access requirement
As of April 7, 2008, all final peer-reviewed manuscripts arising from NIH funds must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication
As of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number when citing a paper that falls under the policy
http://publicaccess.nih.gov
Policy applies to:
Any peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication after April 7, 2008 and arises from: Any direct funding from an NIH grant or cooperative
agreement active in Fiscal Year 2008, or; Any direct funding from an NIH contract signed on or
after April 7, 2008, or; Any direct funding from the NIH Intramural Program, or; An NIH employee.
Policy does NOT apply to non-peer-reviewed materials, book chapters, and editorials
Journals response to mandate
Some journals submit the final published version of NIH-funded articles in PubMed Central within 12 months of publication, without author involvement
Some journals make the author submit to PubMed Central
Some journals charge the author a fee to submit to PubMed Central
*List of journals http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm
Compliance is a 3-step process
Address Copyright. Before signing a copyright transfer agreement, make
sure the agreement allows paper to be submitted to NIH in accordance with the Public Access Policy.
Submit the paper to NIH: Some journals will submit on behalf of authors For other journals, you or your staff must submit upon
acceptance for publication In both cases above, you still will have to verify and
approve the final peer-reviewed manuscript personally via the NIH Manuscript Submission system
Cite. Include PMC number (PMCID) for applicable
articles in applications, proposals and reports
Author / PI responsibilities
Inform journal in the cover letter that the final manuscript is subject to NIH Public Access Policy when submitting Indicate funding sources in Acknowledgements
Make sure that publisher’s Copyright Transfer agreement allows final manuscript to be submitted to PubMed Central
Submit final peer-reviewed manuscript to NIH, upon acceptance for publication at http://www.nihms.nih.gov/db/sub.cgi
Copyright language
If publisher contract has no specific language regarding “compliance with funding source”
NIH suggests author add to the journals copyright agreement: “Journal acknowledges that Author retains the right to
provide a copy of the final peer-reviewed 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.”
SPARC Author Addendum Broader language that also allows self-archiving
and other non-profit repositories
Open Access (OA)
Some journals now offer authors Open Access services OA publishing: article is free to view on
journal’s website OA self-archiving: article is published behind a
subscription journal, but also allowed to post/deposit their articles online in either an institutional or central repository
Feb. 2008, Harvard faculty voted to adopt a University License policy and deposit to the university’s online repository
Open Access (OA) Journals

Opposition to OA is largely from journal publishers
whose business model depends on providing paid access via subscriptions or pay-per-view fees
Some journals are now offering OA as a service, similar to purchasing reprints (OA access ~ $2,000)
