2024 NIH Public Access Policy
The 2024 NIH Public Access Policy went into effect on July 1, 2025 replacing the 2008 Public Access Policy. The 2024 NIH Public Access Policy applies to any author accepted manuscript accepted for publication in a journal, on or after July 1, 2025.
The updated policy requires the submission of an electronic version of the author accepted manuscript to PubMed Central upon its acceptance for publication without embargo upon the official date of publication.
