TopNews and Announcements

NIH-funded authors and G2B
From April 2008, the NIH is mandating grant-holders to deposit their published papers in PubMed Central within 12 months of publication. G2B complies with the NIH mandate in allowing authors to post the accepted version of their article i.e. the version incorporating any amendments made during peer review, 12 months after publication (please see the 'After acceptance' bullet points on page 1 of the exclusive license form for full details). In doing so authors will be meeting the terms of their grant (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#general).
As an alternative, NIH-funded authors may use the Online Open service (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/static/onlineopen.asp). This service grants free and immediate availability of the article on publication, and deposition of the final pdf version with PubMed Central.
