I understand that some journals already deposit research papers in PubMed Central. Do I still need to deposit my peer-reviewed manuscript?
It is true that many publishers voluntarily deposit journal content into PubMed Central (PMC). Please refer to the PMC Journal list to see if your journal of choice deposits content into PMC. If you see “Immediate” or “After 6 months” next to your journal then you do not need to deposit your manuscript. However, if you see “After 12 months” or “After 24 months” then you make arrangements to ensure that your peer-reviewed manuscript is deposited and openly accessible within six months.
