NIH Preprint Pilot - PMC

"The NIH Preprint Pilot is a project of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). During the pilot, NLM will make preprints resulting from research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) available via PubMed Central (PMC) and, by extension, PubMed. The pilot aims to explore approaches to increasing the discoverability of early NIH research results posted to eligible preprint servers. PMC already makes available more than one million peer-reviewed papers resulting from NIH-supported research collected under the NIH Public Access Policy. This pilot builds on PMC's NIH repository role as well as 2017 NIH guidance (NOT-OD-17-050) that encourages investigators to use interim research products, such as preprints, to speed the dissemination and enhance the rigor of their work...."
