The Endocrine Society recently announced a new policy for authors who publish in their journals which include Endocrinology, Endocrine Reviews, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) and Molecular Endocrinology. The Endrocine Society will deposit the final copyedited version of all accepted NIH-funded manuscripts to PubMed Central on behalf of authors within 12 months of publication of the print version.

If authors publish in any of The Endocrine Society journals, no further action is required to comply with the submission requirement of the NIH Public Access Policy.

Full announcement below:

Submission of Final Edited Manuscripts to PubMed Central Implemented by The Endocrine Society on Behalf of Authors

Starting January 1, 2008, The Endocrine Society is depositing the final copyedited versions of all accepted manuscripts funded by the National Institutes of Health to PubMed Central (PMC) on behalf of authors who indicate NIH funding. These authors will not be obligated to submit their unedited accepted manuscripts to the PMC archive as required by the NIH Voluntary Public Access Policy (NOT-OD-05-022). The Endocrine Society instead will deposit the final edited manuscript for you. Following the 12-month embargo from the print issue publication, PMC will post the HTML version and NIH will provide a link to the journal on the PMC website.
