PMC Canada to Start in Fall 2009

Canada is soon expected to join the international effort to provide access to health research through the PMC International network of digital archives. PMC Canada is the result of a three-way collaborative effort by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the National Research Council's Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (NRC-CISTI). Similar to UK PubMed Central, PMC Canada will include most of the health and life sciences literature available through the U.S. PMC. PMC Canada will also include research resulting from funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Components of the new repository will include a bilingual interface as well a manuscript submission system for CIHR researchers.

First-Ever Journal Article Tag Suite Conference (JATS-Con) to be Held in November 2010

PMC is pleased to announce the first of what we hope will be an annual series of conferences for users of the Journal Article Tag Suite, that is, for users of any of the “NLM DTDs”. The Journal Article Tag Suite Conference (JATS-Con) is a peer-reviewed conference that will feature a broad range of content on the Tag Suite—from the technical components to publishing theory—as well as the latest news on the Tag Suite. The conference will be hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland on November 1 & 2, 2010.

For more information on the conference, see https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/jats-con.

Note: There is no charge for the conference; however, space is limited so preregistration is required.

FTP service update to improve access to text mining collections

PMC has reorganized its FTP Service site for users interested in accessing the Text Mining Collections, which include the original Open Access (OA) Subset. New top-level FTP directories help users quickly locate the content available for bulk download that best suits their research needs. These directories include:

To make it easier for users to identify and comply with the different licenses that apply to OA articles, new file lists have been created and the file lists for individual OA articles now include a “license-type” field for each article. Similarly, the bulk packages of OA article text have been divided into two sets. One set comprises articles that may be used for commercial purposes (the Commercial Use Collection); the other contains articles that can be used only for non-commercial purposes. See the Open Access Subset page for details.

To allow regular users to transition to the new arrangement, the previous arrangement of files and directories will be maintained in parallel for at least four weeks (i.e., until the end of August 2016).

PMC Continues to Expand its Role as a Repository for Federally and Privately-funded Research

Since March 2016, the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system has added support for researchers from the following federal agencies to deposit in PMC any manuscripts that fall under the agency’s public access policy:

  • Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR/HHS; intramural only at this time)
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; intramural only at this time)
  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA; intramural/civil servants and grantees)

Manuscript deposit support for all Administration for Community Living (ACL/HHS) researchers will be available in NIHMS by October 2017 and for Department of Homeland Security researchers in early 2018.

Additionally, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Open Access Policy now requires their grantees to make their published research results available in PMC immediately upon publication under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license. Manuscript deposit support is not provided in NIHMS for Gates-funded researchers; rather the final published version of any Gates-funded article is to be deposited directly to PMC by the publisher or a funder-supported data provider without author involvement. More information on this open access policy is available on the Gates Foundation website.

PMC will continue to update the list of participating funding agencies at Public Access and PMC as support is implemented.

PMC Collaborating with Publishers in Response to COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

On March 13, 2020, the National Science and Technology Advisors from a dozen countries, including the United States, called on publishers to voluntarily agree to make their COVID-19 and coronavirus-related publications and associated data immediately accessible in PubMed Central (PMC) and other appropriate public repositories to support the ongoing public health emergency response efforts.

For more information on which publishers have responded to this call and how to discover COVID-19 and coronavirus-related publications in PMC, see the main COVID-19 Initiative page.

A FAQ is also available. If you have questions not addressed in the FAQ, please contact pmc-phe@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

You can learn more about how this initiative fits into the wider NLM response to the current public health emergency in Dr. Patti Brennan's post, "How Does a Library Respond to a Global Crisis?"
