If I submit my manuscript to a journal that is already participating in PubMed Central, do I still need to separately submit the manuscript to the NIHMS system?
A separate submission to the NIHMS system is not necessary if a manuscript has been accepted by a PubMed Central journal that permits free access in 12 months or less. The list of journals participating in PubMed Central can be found at: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm. For NIH grantees, the NIHMS system will extract the necessary identifying information (e.g., NIH award number) from the journal article and transfer it to the NIH’s grants management system to fulfill grantees’ responsibility for providing publications as part of progress reports.
