PubMed Manuscript Submission Service for CSDE Affiliates, Fellows and Staff

CSDE Information Core staff will submit manuscripts authored by CSDE affiliates, fellows, and staff to PubMed Central. The manuscripts must meet the following criteria:

Accepted for publication after April 7, 2008
Accepted in a peer-reviewed journal
Based on work that was funded by NIH in October 2007 or beyond

In order for CSDE Information Core staff to submit your manuscript we will need the following information and materials:

Principal investigator name and email address
Title of the journal
Title of manuscript
Grant number(s)
Confirmation (copy of signed publisher/author agreement/s) that you have copyright clearance to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy
Manuscript files/s (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PDF, etc)
Embargo/Delay time period (how long after publication can the journal article be made available in PMC as specified by the publisher; 12 months maximum embargo period as per NIH policy)

The NIH Public Access Policy states that manuscripts must be deposited in PubMed Central immediately after the manuscript has been accepted for publication. As soon as possible after that, send the information listed above to CSDE Information Core staff via email.

Once the manuscript has been submitted to PubMed Central by CSDE Information Core staff, the NIHMS will send an email to the PI confirming the receipt of the manuscript and include a link to the submission for final approval. Manuscripts will not be posted to PMC without final approval from the PI.

If you have any questions about this, contact David Hyllegard, CSDE Information Core director at: Email or 206-543-9525.
