Effective May 25, 2008, anyone submitting an application, proposal, or progress report to the NIH must include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) or NIH Manuscript Submission reference number when citing applicable articles that arise from their NIH funded research: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/citation_methods.htm. In consideration of this policy, PSID requests that all journal articles based on analysis of PSID data or its supplements receive a PubMed Central reference number (PMCID). Journal articles must be submitted to PubMed Central to receive a PMCID. The method of PubMed Central submission and Investigator responsibility for submission depend on the journal and its publisher:
  • Some journals automatically submit published articles to PubMed Central, while other journal publishers may submit the articles to PubMed Central automatically or upon request by the author.
  • If neither the journal nor the journal publisher will submit the article to PubMed Central, the Investigator will be responsible for the submission. For detailed instructions on the process of submitting a journal article to PubMed Central, please see the NIH website: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/about/public-access-info/
Researchers using PSID public-use data should send citations based on PSID publications you have authored which have PMCIDs to psidhelp@umich.edu.
