Excerpt:

<blockquote>
● The Policy requires immediate public access to articles -- #embargoes are no longer allowed.
● NIH reiterates authors do not have to pay a fee to comply with the Policy.
● The Policy applies to manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025. This means the Policy will apply to existing grants if an article is accepted on or after that date.
● The Policy requires that final peer-reviewed manuscripts be submitted to #PubMedCentral (#PMC) upon acceptance to be made publicly available immediately upon publication.
● The Policy requires that grantees explicitly grant the NIH the right to make the manuscript available in PMC without an embargo.
● The Policy does not explicitly grant full reuse rights of the manuscript to the public.
