NIH PUBLIC ACCESS POLICY:  In accordance with federal law, the NIH now requires the submission of published articles resulting from NIH-funded research to PubMed Central.  Beginning April 7, 2008, authors must include PubMed Central ID numbers in NIH applications and reports when citing their articles covered by the policy.
The Editors of the Journal of General Internal Medicine want to inform authors that because JGIM already provides its content to PubMed Central for free open access within 12 months of publication, manuscripts accepted by JGIM are exempt from this.  The authors need do nothing.  For more information, go to http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm
