NIHMS: What to Do

The NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS)

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). PubMed Central (PMC) was created in 2000 as part of the National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) full-text repository.

NIHMS  facilitates the submission of peer-reviewed articles from authors, PD/PIs, and publishers for inclusion in PubMed Central (PMC) in support of the NIH Public Access Policy (NIHPA).
