New Version of PubMed Central® Journal List Released

PMC released a new and improved journal list on March 31, 2009, after a comprehensive redesign for greater clarity and organization.

The new design not only combines the full-list and tabbed-list views of the previous version but also includes some new or updated features to provide users with a greater overview of the total PMC archive. Looking at this new list, you will find:

  1. An Expanded View of PMC journals that includes NIH Portfolio
  2. Special Collections
  3. A New “Participation Level” Journal Category
  4. Hide/Show Display Option for Predecessor Titles
  5. Article and Journal Search Feature

For more information, see the complete article in the May-June issue of the NLM Technical Bulletin: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj09/mj09_pmc_redesign.html




w

New Search Function Released

You can now find embargoed articles and their corresponding PMCIDs through a recently released search option in the PMC Entrez database. Using the “Limits” tab, click in the field, “Show both free and embargoed articles” and refine your search by journal, author, date, article type, and/or tag term, as needed. Once you’re on the summary page, click on the “embargoed” tab at the top to find the articles in this category. You can then find the PMCID and date of availability at the bottom of the article citation, as indicated in the example below. Note: The PMC search option only includes articles with an initial embargo of up to 12 months. Articles with an embargo greater than 12 months are not compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy and will appear in search results only when the full text is free in PMC. For more information, see the article in the September-October issue of the NLM Technical Bulletin.




w

PMC Adds New Page on Public Access

A new page, Public Access & PMC, has now been added to the About PMC section of the PubMed Central site. “Public Access & PMC” provides information on the relationship between PMC and the NIH Public Access policy, including the difference between the NIH Public Access journal list and PMC journal list. In particular, authors and publishers should find this new site to be a useful resource.




w

PMC Now Offers a “Preview” Table of Contents for Embargoed Issues

For any journal issue that has at least one open access or early access article, PMC is now displaying the table of contents (TOC) in advance of the whole issue becoming available. Not to worry, though—only those articles specified for early release are immediately viewable in PMC. As consistent with the terms of access in the journal agreement, the other articles will only become available on their specified release date, as shown in the TOC below.

The journal's accessiblity, as indicated on the PMC Journal list also has not changed; for example, Plant Physiology's embargo period is still 12 months. What has changed is that the issues with “preview” TOCs now additionally appear on the journal's archive page. Publishers and others can rest assured, however, that no access terms for any journal have been changed with the unveiling of this new format.

New URLs in PMC

PMC recently redesigned its URL format to allow for easier usability as well as consistency across the NCBI site. To implement this change, we moved the previous site, www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov, into the NCBI domain as a sub-site. You can now access the PMC home page at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc.

The primary advantage of the new format is to enable the PMC site to become more fully integrated with other NCBI resources. The new URLs are also more user-friendly—they no longer include technology-driven terminology, such as CGI script names and file extensions (Figure 1).

Figure 1—Old URL for Journal Page with CGI Script Name

Instead, note that after the NCBI/PMC address, the URL first identifies the type of resource, e.g., the PMC journal list, with subsequent identification for a particular subset of that resource—in this case, the journal number (Figure 2).

Figure 2—New URL for Journal Page with Journal Number

Additionally, you will have greater flexibility in accessing particular types of material because, in a number of cases, more than one URL can be used for the same resource. In these instances, one URL is considered to be canonical, or primary; however, using any of the ancillary URLs for that resource will redirect you back to the canonical one. For example (see Figure 3), although the first URL, which represents the PMCID, is considered to be the canonical URL, you may also access the article by using other identifiers, such as the pmid, doi, or the issn-volume-issue-page (ivip).

Figure 3—Canonical and Ancillary URLs for the Same Full-Text Article

Finally, with the roll-out of these more stable and standardized URLs, as in the table below (Figure 4), you will also find it easier to modify the web addresses in your browser. Note that the canonical URL is given first and is in bold; the ancillary URLs are listed below it.

Figure 4—Table Display of all New URLs

Although the new URLs are firmly in place, please also note that we haven't completely discarded the old to bring in the new. If you do use an old URL, it's not a problem. Your browser will be redirected to the new location.
