This is a selective list of publishers' policies issued in response to NIH's Public Access policy. UR authors publishing in journals from any of these publishers should verify that the policy listed here is still current before submitting their manuscript to PubMed Central (PMC) in compliance with the NIH Public Access policy.
Many journals submit all peer-reviewed articles directly to PMC on behalf of their authors. If an author publishes in one of these journals, no further action is needed to comply with the submission requirement of NIH Public Access policy. A complete list is available from PMC.
As stated in Neurology's copyright form, Academy Enterprises, Inc (AEI) authorizes NIH-funded investigators to submit an electronic version of their final, accepted manuscript to the NIH for publication on PubMedCentral no earlier than twelve months after the print or online publication in Neurology. The authorization is a nonexclusive license only for the purpose stated in the NIH Public Access Policy (see 70 Federal Register 6899-6900 dated February 9, 2005); AEI reserves all rights not specifically granted in this nonexclusive license.
For research papers created under grants awarded no earlier than 2 May 2005, and for which the authors are required by their funding agencies to make their research results publicly available, authors may implement posting to the funding body's archive or designated repository, no sooner than six months after final publication, of the "accepted version" of the paper, provided the posting is linked back to the original Science version and includes the published paper's full reference citation. The "accepted version" is the version of the paper accepted for publication in Science after changes resulting from peer review, but before Science's editing, image quality control, and production. This policy does not apply to editorials, reviews, or commentary pieces. In submitting to archives such as PMC, authors of Science papers should set the time of public release of the accepted version at six months after final publication in Science.
AAI will grant a limited one-time waiver permitting authors to deposit an accepted manuscript into PubMed Central, provided that the corresponding author:
- instructs the NIH to release the manuscript to the public no sooner than 12 months after final publication in The JI;
- agrees that this one-time waiver applies solely to deposition into PubMed Central and does not extend to any other repository, agency, or entity*; and
- agrees to and includes in the text of the abstract of the manuscript submitted to PMC the following disclaimer:
"This is an author-produced version of a manuscript accepted for publication in The Journal of Immunology (The JI). The American Association of Immunologists, Inc. (AAI), publisher of The JI, holds the copyright to this manuscript. This version of the manuscript has not yet been copyedited or subjected to editorial proofreading by The JI; hence, it may differ from the final version published in The JI (online and in print). AAI (The JI) is not liable for errors or omissions in this author-produced version of the manuscript or in any version derived from it by the U.S. National Institutes of Health or any other third party. The final, citable version of record can be found at www.jimmunol.org."
* Corresponding authors publishing in The JI sign a copyright transfer agreement to The American Association of Immunologists, Inc. (AAI), which prohibits them and all coauthors from transferring versions of accepted manuscripts to a third party.
B. ACS Policy pursuant to the NIH Public Access Policy mandate (effective with peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted by ACS journals on or after April 7, 2008)
1. For ACS authors whose manuscripts acknowledge research funding support from NIH, the ACS hereby grants to the author the right to provide an electronic copy of the final peer-reviewed manuscript and supporting information to the NIH upon editorial acceptance by the ACS journal as titled above. This grant shall permit public accessibility of the deposited content on the NIH’s PubMed Central database, 12 months after the official date of publication of the final article by ACS.
2. ACS authors may choose from one of the following two options in satisfying the NIH Public Access Policy mandate:
a. ACS Option A: ACS deposits the final published article for immediate open availability. Those authors who wish to forgo the NIH’s manuscript submission … may elect instead to have the ACS deposit the final published article on their behalf, by participating in the Society’s ACS AuthorChoice fee-based open access licensing option…
b. ACS Option B: Author deposits the final peer-reviewed manuscript for open availability 12 months after publication. The final peer-reviewed manuscript as deposited should include any changes made by the author in response to the peer review process leading to final editorial acceptance by the journal, and be the same version (accompanied by any supporting information) as provided to the ACS prior to its further copyediting, correction, formatting and production as a final published article. No fee is required for the exercise of this option as granted to the author by ACS.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy implements a law passed in December 2007 that affects authors who receive funding from the NIH. Effective April 7, 2008, the law mandates that all peer-reviewed articles that arise, in whole or in part, from direct costs funded by NIH, or from NIH staff, that are accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed journal—including JADA—must be deposited with the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central, in the form of a copy of the manuscript’s final version on its acceptance… On or after April 7, 2008, when the author deposits the accepted manuscript with PubMed Central, he or she should specify that the manuscript is not to be made available until 12 months after publication (not acceptance). Thereby, the manuscripts will be made publicly available by PubMed Central at the same time that JADA makes its full text available to the public free of charge.
Authors are permitted to submit the final, accepted version of their manuscript to their funding body, such as NIH, or institution for inclusion in their funding body or institution's database, archive, or repository, or to post the final, accepted version on their personal Web site. These manuscripts may be made freely accessible to the public upon acceptance, provided that the following two conditions are observed:
First, post-prints must include the following statement of provenance and, once the final version has been published in the journal, a link to the final published version of the paper on the journal's Web site:
"This is an author-created, uncopyedited electronic version of an article accepted for publication in Diabetes (http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org). The American Diabetes Association (ADA), publisher of Diabetes, is not responsible for any errors or omissions in this version of the manuscript or any version derived from it by third parties. The definitive publisher-authenticated version is available online at [DOI of the online article]."
Second, the version of the manuscript deposited or posted must be identical to the final accepted version, with the exception of the addition of the above statement and any changes necessary to correct errors. Authors may make changes to the posted version to correct mistakes or may issue an erratum at any time. However, the final published version of the manuscript may not be deposited, posted, or later substituted for the post-print.
For Works created under grant from a funding body and accepted for publication in an AHA journal on or after May 2, 2005, the author may cause the posting of the “Accepted Version” of the Work on the web-based archive of a funding body responsible for the funding in whole or part of the Work, provided that the posting is no sooner than 6 months after publication of the Work in an AHA journal and that the archive is publicly available via the World Wide Web in a noncommercial manner. The “Accepted Version” is the accepted version of the paper including changes resulting from peer review but prior to AHA’s copyediting and production. “No sooner than 6 months after publication of the Work in an AHA journal” means at least 6 months after the first appearance of the Work either on the AHA journal’s web site as a publish ahead-of-print article or on the AHA journal’s web site published as part of a regular issue, whichever occurs first.
Depositing Research Manuscripts With an Approved Public Repository
All JAMA/Archives Journal articles reporting original research are made freely available 12 months after publication, from 1998 forward, subject to certain conditions. The JAMA/Archives Journals’ Editors and Publishers believe that the public is best served by accessing the freely available research articles on the journal site, to ensure access to the final published version, any corrections, and related Web features. However, some funding organizations require that authors of manuscripts reporting research deposit those manuscripts with an approved public repository, such as PubMed Central. Authors have the JAMA/Archives Journals’ permission on the following conditions:
If authors adhere to these requirements, they may submit the final accepted version of the manuscript to the repository, if and only if the repository ensures that the deposited manuscript will not be made available to the public during the 12-month embargo following publication in the JAMA/Archives Journals.
APS is negotiating with NIH to be able to upload accepted manuscripts that acknowledge NIH funding for authors. Until we are able to do this, however, you will need to upload the accepted manuscript yourself. Please choose the option to make the manuscript free 12 months after publication, to be in compliance with APS’s copyright policy. This period of time is consistent with our existing policy to make all content publicly available through HighWire Press 12 months after print publication.
As of April 7, 2008, the final redacted versions of all research articles resulting from partial or complete support from NIH must be deposited immediately in the NIH repository, PubMed Central. PubMed Central will not release articles to readers for 12 months. While compliance to this NIH mandate is the responsibility of the authors, ASBMB will automatically deposit articles on behalf of authors as a service.
ASBMB/JBC, as copyright holder, grants permission to all authors, for the sole purpose of compliance with the NIH request, to deposit their accepted manuscripts in PubMed Central.
During submission of a manuscript for review, authors will be required to indicate whether or not the work resulted from NIH funding. If NIH funding is involved, and the paper is ultimately accepted for publication, the final redacted version will automatically and immediately be sent to the NIH on behalf of the authors. This will completely satisfy the NIH mandate and authors need do nothing else.
This service will be free for ASBMB members and will cost $50 for non-members. The $50 fee covers the cost to the publisher to tag and upload high resolution figures and supply supplemental data from our vendors to PubMed Central.
The Society for Neuroscience will continue to retain copyright to articles published in The Journal of Neuroscience. However, the Society has modified the Copyright Assignment and Experimental Procedures Statement for the Journal to allow our authors to deposit their accepted manuscripts in PMC (or similar repositories of other government funding agencies), provided access to the manuscript is granted no earlier than 6 months after the manuscript has been published in The Journal of Neuroscience, the Society’s current open access policy for the Journal.
As part of the submission process, NIH requests that the principal investigator designate when the manuscript may be posted on PMC for public access. The public access date will be in the form of a delay period from the date of journal publication. Consistent with the Society’s modified copyright agreement, Journal of Neuroscience authors should stipulate that their articles be made available to the public no earlier than 6 months after journal publication. The Society’s leadership continues to review its open access policy, and any future changes to the embargo period will be reflected in the copyright agreement.
The manuscript submitted to PMC must be identical to the accepted, unedited manuscript that was accepted for publication by the Journal; authors may not submit the final copyedited version of their Journal of Neuroscience articles to PMC. Journal authors are required to insert the following phrase on the title page of the manuscript before it is uploaded to PMC: “This article is an un-copyedited author manuscript that has been accepted for publication in The Journal of Neuroscience, copyright 200_ Society for Neuroscience. The Society for Neuroscience disclaims any responsibility or liability for errors or omissions in this version of the manuscript or any version derived from it by NIH or other parties.” The PMC entry will include a link back to the author’s final publication in The Journal of Neuroscience, which is the version of record. The intent is to make clear to the reader that the PMC manuscript is not the final version of your article. By directing readers to the article of record, we hope to ensure accurate (and accurately counted) citations to your paper.
Provided that you give appropriate acknowledgement to the Journal, the society if relevant and Blackwell Publishing, and full bibliographic reference for the Article when it is published (see recommended statement below), you may use the accepted version of the Article in the format as originally submitted for publication in the Journal, and updated to include any amendments made after peer review, in the following ways…
you may post an electronic version of the Article on your own personal website, on your employer's website/repository and on free public servers in your subject area (PubMed Central is a free public server) . (For most journals there is a requirement that posting of the Article online does not take place until a specified minimum period has elapsed.)
Electronic versions of the accepted article must include the following statement, adapted as necessary for your Article:
Author Posting. ©{Insert name of copyright holder as shown on the published article}{insert year of publication} This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of {insert name of copyright holder} for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in {insert journal name}, {insert volume, issue number and pages}.http://dx.doi.org/ {insertdoi number}
Please note that you are not permitted to post the Blackwell Publishing PDF version of the Article online.

After your article has been accepted for publication in an Elsevier journal, you will be asked in the author agreement whether the underlying research reported in the paper was funded by the NIH. Check the corresponding box acknowledging your article is reporting research funded by the NIH. Elsevier will send to PMC the version of the author’s manuscript that reflects any author-agreed changes made in response to peer-review comments, and authorizes its public access posting 12 months after final publication.
For those authors of primary research articles whose funding agency requires deposit of an article in an archive, Wiley offers the option of funded access. With this option, the author pays a fee to ensure that the article is made available to non-subscribers upon publication via Wiley InterScience, as well as delivered to the funding agency's preferred archive when applicable. This access option is available only to authors of primary research articles.
When a manuscript is accepted for publication in an NPG journal, authors are encouraged to submit the author's version of the accepted paper (the unedited manuscript) to PubMed Central or other appropriate funding body's archive, for public release six months after publication. In addition, authors are encouraged to archive this version of the manuscript in their institution's repositories and, if they wish,on their personal websites, also six months after the original publication. In all these cases, authors should cite the publication reference and DOI number on any deposited version, and provide a link from it to the URL of the published article on the journal's website.
As of 7 April 2008, Springer has adapted its standard Copyright Transfer Statement (CTS) for new articles to ensure compliance with new guidelines from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). 
An author may self-archive an author-created version of his/her article on his/her own website. He/she may also deposit this version on his/her institution's and funder's (funder-designated) repository at the funder’s request or as a result of a legal obligation, including his/her final version, provided it is not made publicly available until after 12 months of official publication. He/she may not use the publisher's PDF version which is posted on www.springerlink.com for the purpose of self-archiving or deposit. Furthermore, the author may only post his/her version provided acknowledgement is given to the original source of publication and a link is inserted to the published article on Springer's website. The link must be accompanied by the following text: "The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com".
Author retains …the right to post your revised text version of the ‘postprint’ of the Article (i.e., the Article in the form accepted for publication in a Taylor & Francis journal following the process of peer review), after an embargo period commencing 12 months (STM) or 18 months (SSH) after first publication (either in print or online), as an electronic file on an Author’s own website for personal or professional use, or on an Author’s internal university, college, or corporate network or intranet, or within an Institutional or Subject Repository, but not for commercial sale or for any systematic external distribution by a third party (for example a listserv or database connected to a public access server) subject to the following acknowledgement:
“This is an electronic version of an article published in [include the complete citation information for the final version of the article as published in the print edition of the journal]. [JOURNAL TITLE] is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com with the open URL of your article (see point 4 for open URL details).”
For the avoidance of doubt, ‘your version’ is the author version and not the publisher-created PDF, HTML or XML version posted as the definitive, final version of scientific record.
