REQUIREMENT!

All publications resulting from the utilization of any Spectrum resource or service must be compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy.

The following is excerpted from the National Institutes of Health Public Access website:
“The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. To help advance science and improve human health, the Policy requires that these papers are accessible to the public on PubMed Central no later than 12 months after publication.”

The PMCID is unique reference number that is assigned to each article that is accepted into PubMed Central.
