Authors must ensure that agreements with publishers permit the submission of the author’s manuscript to NIH.
When initially submitting an article to a publisher, use the "sample submission letter" (Attachment A) that notifies the publisher that the research reported in the manuscript is subjected to the NIH Policy and acceptance of the publication will require compliance with the NIH policy.
Sample wording is included below that you can add to a publisher’s agreement to ensure that you can fulfill the policy:
