The NIH free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature.
Coverage: (varies) mid-1800s to present
PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the
U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), developed and managed by NIH's National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI) in the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Participation by publishers in PMC is
voluntary, although participating Journals are encouraged to deposit all their content (and not just
research papers or other selected material) in PMC so that the archive becomes a true digital
counterpart to NLM's extensive collection of print journals. 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.
