Neuroiology of Lipids welcomes new Public Access policy by the National Institutes of Health

Neurobiology of Lipids (NoL) welcomes the announcement of new "Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from NIH-Funded Research" by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) effective May 2, 2005. The NIH requests the Agency grant recipients to deposit resulting publications in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC, a free governmental archive of the life sciences literature) within 12 months since originally published in a peer-reviewed journal. The article deposition in NIH archive will no doubt benefit the scholars themselves. This is because deposition in PMC archive will ensure the publication is preserved for future generations and gets maximum and barrier-free exposure to both peers and the public.
