Does NIH Fund Your Work? If so, any Resulting Manuscript Must Be Made Available in PubMed Central
To determine what journals submit All NIH-funded final published articles to PubMed Central, go to http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm. The journals listed here make the final published version of every NIH-funded paper publicly available in PubMed Central no later than 12 months after publication, without author involvement. These deposits are in accord with the NIH Public Access Policy.
If you publish anywhere else, deposit the manuscript in PubMed Central via one of the options described at http://publicaccess.nih.gov. There are four methods to ensure that a manuscript is submitted to PubMed Central in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy.
Method 1: Make arrangements to have a publisher deposit a specific final published article in PubMed Central.
Method 2: Deposit the final peer-reviewed manuscript in PMC yourself via the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS).
Method 3: Complete the submission process for a final peer-reviewed manuscript that the publisher has deposited in the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS)
