On January 11, 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a revision to its Public Access Policy. The policy now requires eligible researchers to deposit copies of final manuscripts with the NIH upon acceptance into a peer-reviewed journal so that they may be made publicly available within 12 months of publication. This policy applies to any journal articles resulting from research supported in whole or in part by direct funds from NIH.
