NIH Public Access Policy

IMPORTANT: The NIH Public Access Policy requires authors to submit peer-reviewed articles that have been accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. Authors do not have to submit articles that are already published. The policy applies to those who receive NIH funds after October 1, 2008.

The CPC Library staff will submit manuscripts to PubMed Central for CPC publications that arise out of NIH funding.

If you have questions about the NIH Public Access Policy, contact CPC Library staff by visiting the library in 302 University Square East, e-mailing cpclib@unc.edu, or phoning the reference desk at (919) 962-3081.
