Toxicological Sciences Public Access Policy
The public access guidelines recently released by the NIH requests that authors of all publications resulting from NIH sponsored research deposit the final accepted version of their manuscripts in PubMed Central within 12 months of the date they are accepted for publication. The policy, which becomes effective on May 2, 2005, is described in detail at: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-022.html.Presently, Toxicological Sciences grants free public access to all articles published in the journal 12 months after printed publication. We understand that authors will want to comply voluntarily with the NIH policy, and therefore, we will grant permission to all authors to deposit their accepted manuscripts in PubMed Central.
For compliance with public access guidelines, authors are permitted to transmit their manuscripts to PubMed Central after receipt of the URL providing online access to the final version of the accepted paper. Upon submission, authors will specify when their final manuscript will be publicly accessible through PubMed Central. For consistency with current policies of Toxicological Sciences that grant free public access to all articles published in the journal 12 months after printed publication, authors should indicate that the paper will be publicly accessible after 12 months.
Submission instructions for authors can be found at: http://nihms.nih.gov/. Additional information regarding the implementation of the NIH public access policy and the ability to specify when an article is available is at: http://www.nih.gov/about/publicaccess/Finalpublicaccessimplementation031505.htm.
Toxicological Sciences is pursuing the feasibility of offering to automatically transmit papers directly to NIH as a service to authors in the future. However, it is not yet clear that NIH can accommodate automated third party submissions. We are motivated to provide this service to our authors, and we will continue to monitor developments concerning this and other issues relating to the PubMed Central Repository.
