RCR: The NIH Public Access Policy and You

Presented by Stephen Gabrielson, MSLIS, Scholarly Communication Librarian, HSLS 

The NIH Public Access Policy requires authors to submit their NIH-supported manuscripts to PubMed Central. Doing so ensures public access to published results of NIH-funded research, free of charge. This session will provide an overview of how to comply with the policy and address the potential changes coming to the NIH Public Access Policy in the near future. (subject matter: responsible authorship & publication)

By the end of this session, attendees should be able to: 

• State the difference between PubMed and PubMed Central. 

• Explain how a manuscript is deposited into PubMed Central. 

• Explain when to use the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) System and the My Bibliography tool in a MyNCBI account. 

• Describe the common scenarios for articles showing as non-compliant in My Bibliography.
