NIH Public Access Policy Compliance

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.

NIH Public Access Policy

The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has immediate access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central.
