Description
BACKGROUND The National Institutes of Health (NIH) public access policy became effective in April 2008 and was signed into law in March 2009 [1]. Following the example of funding agencies throughout North America and Europe--such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Wellcome Trust--the NIH public access policy requires that the results of NIH-funded research be made freely available online no later than twelve months after acceptance for publication. NIH names PubMed Central as the repository of choice for these articles [2].
