Can publishers submit my paper to PubMed Central for me?
Publishers may submit articles to NIHMS on behalf of authors. Check with your publisher to determine if they submit to NIHMS as a service to authors. Manuscripts submitted to NIHMS by publishers require two approvals by the PI: • approval of the submitted materials (the PDF Receipt), and • approval of the final web version of the manuscript. Submissions and approvals are not required for articles published in PubMed Central participating journals.
