Public Access for Research Materials- Fact Sheet

Conversion of Research Materials to Comply with Public Access Requirements

What is it:

A number of initiatives have recently been implemented to assure Public Access to government and institutionally funded research materials.

The United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) has already recommended that all NIH funded research articles be submitted to NIH for deposit into Pubmed Central, the NIH Open Access Repository. More recently, several private funding institutions and government agencies worldwide have established similar policies, and many more are contemplating the establishment of a Public Access policy.

The challenge facing organizations implementing a Public Access policy is how to best to provide their data so that it is most conducive to Public Access. Many organizations, including NIH, have selected XML as their target format.

Those still in the policy making phase, might find it valuable to download the following source materials:
