NIH-funded authors are highly encouraged to consider the following points before  submitting their NIH-funded work to a journal for the peer review process :

• What submission method will be used?
• What version of the work will be posted to PubMed Central?
• Who will submit the work?
• When will it be submitted?
• Who will approve the submission?
• When can the paper be made available for public viewing on PubMed Central?

Learn more about these points and other information related to the NIH Public Access Policy in the Question and Answer videocast by Dr. Neil Thakur.
