PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital
archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. It is developed and
managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S.
National Library of Medicine (NLM).

PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital archive of
biomedical and life sciences journal literature
PubMed Central is a free digital archive of
biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes
of Health (NIH), developed and managed by NIH's National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
With PubMed Central, NLM is taking the lead in preserving and maintaining
unrestricted access to the electronic literature, just as it has done for
decades with the printed biomedical literature. PubMed Central aims to fill the
role of a world class library in the digital age. It is not a journal
publisher. NLM believes that giving all users free and unrestricted access to
the material in PubMed Central is the best way to ensure the durability and
utility of the archive as technology changes over time.
PubMed Central
follows in the footsteps of other highly successful and useful services that
NCBI has developed for the worldwide scientific community: GenBank, the genetic
sequence data repository, and PubMed, the database of citations and abstracts
to biomedical and other life science journal literature. GenBank, and the tools
provided by NCBI for searching and manipulating its contents, have been a boon
to molecular biologists and have helped advance developments in the field.
PubMed (which encompasses Medline) is the database of choice, for researchers
and clinicians alike, to locate relevant articles and, in many cases, link
directly to a publisher's site for the full text.
Participation by
publishers in PubMed Central (PMC) is voluntary, although participating
journals must meet certain editorial standards. (See the Information for
Publishers.) Journals are encouraged to deposit all their content (and not just
research papers or other selected material) in PMC so that the archive becomes
a true digital counterpart to NLM's extensive collection of print journals. In
line with this objective, NLM is digitizing earlier print issues of many of the
journals already in PMC. Although immediate free access to all content is most
desirable, a journal may delay release of its full text in PMC for some period
of time after publication. See the Deposit and Access Policies for more
information.
A journal is guaranteed access to a copy of its deposited
data upon request, at no cost. PubMed Central does not claim copyright on any
material deposited in the archive. Copyright remains with the journal publisher
or with individual authors, whichever is applicable. The value of PubMed
Central, in addition to its role as an archive, lies in what can be done when
data from diverse sources is stored in a common format in a single repository.
GenBank has proven the advantages of collecting DNA sequences in a central
repository with a common format. You get more rapid searching, manipulation,
and cross-linking of the complete collection, and all the benefits that derive
from that. Similarly, with PubMed Central, one can quickly search the entire
body of full-text articles and locate relevant material regardless of its
source. It also makes it possible to integrate the literature with a variety of
other information resources such as sequence databases and other factual
databases that are available to scientists, clinicians and everyone else
interested in the life sciences. The intentional and serendipitous discoveries
that such links might foster excite us and stimulate us to move forward. Many
journals already have online publishing operations and there is a growing
tendency to publish material online only, to the exclusion of print. This
literature must be preserved in a form that ensures unrestricted access to it
over the longer term. This is what NLM has undertaken to do. We invite all
journals to join those that have already committed to creating this resource
for people all over the world.
