The Journal of Neuroscience Copyright Assignment Form (right-click to download PDF)
NIH and certain private funding agencies require that a final, electronic version of manuscripts describing research they supported be submitted to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central site. Information about the NIH policy can be found at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/.
As a service to our authors, the Journal of Neuroscience will deposit in PubMed Central final versions of manuscripts that describe work that was funded by agencies that have this requirement. Manuscripts describing work that was funded by the NIH, HHMI and the Wellcome Trust and which are accepted for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience on or after April 7, 2008 will be deposited. Authors funded by these agencies should make sure to accurately describe the source of funding in the acknowledgments section of their manuscripts.
Although the NIH policy calls for manuscripts in PubMed Central to be freely accessible after 12 months, The Journal will allow manuscripts to be publicly accessible through PubMed Central six months after publication, which is when all Journal of Neuroscience articles become freely accessible.
This service will be provided automatically, without a fee, and should fulfill the obligations that grantees of these agencies have to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy for articles published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
