PubMed Central (PMC) Updates Journal Selection and Participation Agreements

July 2, 2018 by Gary Price

From the National Library of Medicine Technical Bulletin:

2018-07-02_14-19-24On June 26, 2018, Central PMC released expanded information about its selection process for journals that apply for participation. The current review process has been in place since November 2014 and focuses on the scientific rigor and editorial quality standards of each journal that applies to participate in PMC.

Some of the attributes taken into account as part of this process include the article content, journal policies, language quality, and presentation of content. The same assessment considerations are used for reevaluation of currently participating journals. We encourage you to visit the Journal Selection for PMC page to learn more.
Publishers and journals interested in submitting an application to PMC are also encouraged to review our updated policies on agreement types. These policies provide the eligibility criteria for each type of participation agreement and should be considered alongside the pre-application requirements.
