'''The NIH announced today, 02.04.05, a new policy designed to accelerate the public's access to published articles resulting form NIH-funded research. The Policy becomes effective May 2, 2005.''' 

 '''Summary:'''

The NIH Public Access Policy requests NIH-funded investigators to submit to the NIH National Library of Medicine's (NLM) PubMed Central (PMC) an electronic version of the author's final manuscript upon acceptance for publication, resulting from research supported, in whole or in part, with direct costs from NIH. The author's final manuscript is defined as the final version accepted for journal publication, and includes all modifications from the publishing peer review process. The Policy requests and strongly encourages that authors specify posting of their final manuscripts for public accessibility as soon as possible (and within 12 months of the publisher's official date of final publication). The publication date is the publisher's official date of final publication.
