Effective July 1, 2025, a revised version of the NIH Public Access Policy has been implemented. While most elements of the policy remain unchanged, a key update eliminates the previous 12-month embargo period. As a result, all peer-reviewed publications arising from NIH-funded research must be made immediately available to the public via PubMed Central upon publication.
Please note: The current policy, including the 12-month embargo, will continue to apply to manuscripts accepted before July 1, 2025.
For more information, please see the following Notice Number: NOT-OD-25-101 and the Public Access Policy website.
