Selected Publisher Policies about the NIH Public Access Policy

The Edward G. Miner Library of the University of Rochester Medical Center has a very useful page (Publishers' Policies on the NIH Public Access Policy) that includes excerpts from selected publisher's policies about the NIH Public Access Policy. However, this page does not include the URLs for the policies.

I've identified the URL's (listed below in the same order as in the original document), provided updates where appropriate, and included the publisher's fee-based open access option if available.

• American Academy of Neurology
• American Association for the Advancement of Science
• American Association of Immunologists
• American Chemical Society (The ACS now has an NIH Policy Addendum; there is an ACS AuthorChoice option.)
• American Diabetes Association
• American Medical Association (The AMA still does not appear to have an NIH policy; JAMA Authorship Responsibility, Financial Disclosure, Copyright Transfer, and Acknowledgment)
• American Physiological Society (The APS now has an Important Information about the NIH Public Access Policy and Your Manuscript page; there is an APS AuthorChoice option.)
• American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
• Radiological Society of North America
• Blackwell Publishing (There is an Online Open option.)
• Elsevier (Elsevier now has an Elsevier NIH Policy Statement; see also the Funding Body FAQ.)
• John Wiley & Sons (Wiley offers a funded access option)
• Nature Publishing Group
• Springer (Springer now has an NIH Compliance/Author Self-Archiving Policy; there is a Springer Open Choice option.)
• Taylor & Francis (This is not an NIH-specific policy; Taylor & Francis permits authors to retain their copyrights; there is an iOpenAccess option for some journals.)
