What are the different ways to access the manuscript tool for PubMed Central?
Several log in options are available to authors to submit articles to PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS): • eRA Commons (for NIH extramural principal investigators, grantees or applicants) • NIH Login (for intramural NIH scientists and staff) • Publishers that have registered for an NIHMS Publisher Login account • HHMI Login (for HHMI-funded investigators) • MyNCBI (for others) On the NIHMS log in page, select the preferred log in method from the options listed. Each option requires a different username and password to log in. Authors or their representatives should note which option is used when adding a manuscript, and use the same one each time to avoid duplicating submissions. Once logged in, click on the green “submit new manuscript” button and click “Continue”. Information needed during this process includes the journal publishing the article, the manuscript’s title, the grantee’s name, and the grant number. The NIHMS allows for searching by grant
