In line with this objective, NLM has digitized earlier print issues of many of the journals that are in PMC. Although immediate free access to all content is most desirable, a journal may delay release of its full text in PMC for anywhere from a few months to more than a year after publication. Most journals provide free access to full text in PMC within a year of publication.
