New MEDLINE Publisher Portal and Email Address

New MEDLINE Publisher Portal and Email Address. NLM Tech Bull. 2019 May-Jun;(428):e4.

2019 June 12 [posted]

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce the launch of the MEDLINE Publisher Portal, a new platform for submitting and managing MEDLINE applications. The platform allows publishers to submit an application for a journal to be reviewed for MEDLINE and provides a unique link for publishers where the progress of the review can be tracked. Many publishers may be familiar with the interface, due to similarities with the PMC Publisher Portal used for PMC applications.

With the first application, a publisher or society will be prompted to enter information about the journal and the publishing organization. Users wanting to avoid re-entering publisher information should apply using the Sign In feature, which will create a Publisher Profile and prevent the need to re-enter this information in subsequent applications. 

All future applications must be submitted using the new portal (see Figure 1). On June 17, 2019, the former MEDLINE Review Application will be decommissioned.

Applications submitted prior to June 17, 2019, but not yet reviewed by LSTRC will be transferred to the new MEDLINE Publisher Portal. Publishers/editors with applications in this state will not need to take further action.

NLM is also pleased to announce that all MEDLINE application communication should now go to: NLMMEDLINEapplication@mail.nlm.nih.gov.
