My research is partially or wholly funded by the NIH. When I submit an article to a journal for publication, do I need to tell the journal I have to follow the NIH Public Access Policy?
To assist authors in securing permission for the deposit of articles into PubMed Central, Vanderbilt University provides an NIH Public Access Policy Amendment to Publication Agreement. VUMC authors funded by NIH should submit this form to journal publishers at the time of manuscript submission. It is important that the publisher agrees to allow the article to be submitting to PubMed Central.
