NIH Public Access Policy

Citing PubMed Central ID Numbers

When your manuscript is submitted to NIH, you will receive a NIHMS ID number, and once it is available in PubMed Central, it will be assigned a PMC ID number.

Effective May 25, 2008, you will need to cite the PMC ID or NIHMS ID numbers for any articles you cite in your progress reports, new applications, and renewals. They are only needed for articles accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008, but you may include PMC ID numbers for articles already in PubMed Central as well.

The University Libraries on each campus can help you find these numbers, if you need assistance.

EndNote users: Set up EndNote to include PMC ID numbers in references
