开放获取研究文章现在是医学出版界的一个现实。自2005年5月2日起，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）制定了一项政策，旨在扩大公众对NIH资助的已发表研究的访问。在这样做的过程中，NIH加入了及时共享政府支持的研究的全球趋势（1）。该政策强烈鼓励作者在接受后将其文章提交给PubMed Central，并允许在12个月内开放获取（2-4）。PubMed Central是NIH的全文文章库，并提供对托管文章的开放和免费访问（5）。它与流行的PubMed引文和摘要数据库相连，在许多情况下，与出版商网站相连。虽然新政策仅适用于NIH赞助的研究论文的作者，但其影响是重大的。在世界各地，超过212，000名研究人员获得NIH资助;他们每年产生60，000至65，000篇论文，约占PubMed索引的5，000种期刊内容的10%（5）。目前，这些文件中约有三分之一在出版后一年内以某种方式以电子方式提供。NIH的目标是将所有受资助的研究论文都存储在一个标准化的可访问数据库中，并具有长期保存档案的能力，即PubMed Central。NIH计划使用该系统来监控科学生产力，管理其研究支出，并为未来的研究确定优先事项。
Open access to research articles is now a fact of life in medical publishing. Effective May 2, 2005, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) instituted a policy aimed at broadening public access to published NIH-funded research studies. In doing so, the NIH joined a global trend toward timely sharing of government-supported research (1). The policy strongly encourages authors to submit their articles to PubMed Central upon acceptance, and allow open access in less than 12 months (2-4). PubMed Central is the NIH's repository for full-text articles and provides open and free access to hosted articles (5). It is linked to the popular PubMed database of citations and abstracts and, in many instances, to publisher websites.While the new policy applies only to authors of NIH-sponsored research articles, the implications are significant. Around the world, more than 212,000 researchers receive NIH funding; they generate 60,000 to 65,000 papers each year, comprising approximately 1 0% of the content of the 5,000 journals indexed by PubMed (5). At present, approximately one third of these papers are available electronically in some fashion within one year of publication. The NIH's goal is to have all of its funded research articles in one standardized accessible database, with the capability for maintaining archives over the long term-ie, PubMed Central. NIH plans to use this system to monitor scientific productivity, manage its research expenditures, and establish priorities for future research.
