NIH Public Access Policy Requirements

All peer-reviewed publications resulting from the use of Stanford CTSA resources or services must be compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy. This policy requires that researchers submit the final peer-reviewed manuscripts that have been supported by NIH funds to NIHMS immediately upon acceptance for publication so the manuscript will be available in PubMed Central for all to read or download.

When an investigator publishes a peer-reviewed paper acknowledging NIH support, the following steps are required:

1. Add the paper’s citation to the investigator’s bibliography in My NCBI.
2. Add the CTSA grant number to supported papers listed in My NCBI.
3. Ensure the paper has been issued a PMCID within 3 months of publication.

The full article will not be available in PubMed until after the journal embargo period (up to 12 months), but assignment of a PMCID is not dependent on the embargo.

Instructions for Public Access Compliance

1. Login to My NCBI.
2. Go to My Bibliography.
3. Add publication to My Bibliography page by clicking +Add citations > From PubMed.
4. Search with the PMID number or author name, then click Add to My Bibliography.
5. Add NIH award number in the Public Access Compliance box. The box will show the non-compliance status unless the submission was started by the journal (will have a NIHMS number).
6. Edit status in Public Access Compliance box based on NIH funding, peer-review, direct journal submissions to PMC, and exemptions (e.g., non-peer reviewed).
7. For peer-reviewed publications with NIH funding that the journal has not submitted to PMC, click Begin submission in the NIHMS.
8. Follow the step-by-step instructions in NIHMS. You will need the last author-submitted Word document (accepted version), not the journal's formatted PDF.
