U.S. National Institutes of Health
ASPET deposits with PubMed Central the final version of articles that cite funding under a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), meeting the NIH's deposit requirements.
Articles authored by NIH staff members are also deposited by ASPET.
To be deposited with PubMed Central, funding citations must include a grant number. NIH staff must follow the footnote format given for NIH intramural research, per the NIH. See the section on "Footnotes" in the Instructions to Authors.
Articles are deposited with PubMed Central within three business days of the formatted version going online. PubMed Central requires additional time to process the deposit, and a PMCID may not be available for up to two weeks or more. ASPET is please to provide its authors with this service.
Plan S Funders
Effective for new submissions after December 31, 2020: For manuscripts supported by funding from national funders, charitable and international funders, and research organizations that formally support Plan S, the authors may make the peer-reviewed, accepted manuscript version of the work immediately available through open access repositories without embargo under a CC BY license. No article processing charge (APC) is required. The copyedited and formatted version of the article will be published with an ASPET copyright line in the journal under the usual embargo period. This arrangement meets the requirements of Plan S funders. Funding from the Plan S-affiliated funder must be cited in the manuscript's funding footnote. Authors must sign an ASPET Copyright Transfer Agreement, which is in the manuscript submission system as a step in the submission process. Authors are responsbile for depositing the manuscript version in an open access repository.
All manuscripts may be published under ASPET's gold open access option using either a CC BY or CC BY-NC license for the respective fee. Open access articles funded by the NIH will be deposited with PubMed Central by ASPET with no embargo. Gold open access articles funded by Plan S funders will also be deposited with PubMed Central. However, Plan S funders will not pay article processing charges for hybrid journals such as ASPET's.
Since April 2005, ASPET has made JPET, Molecular Pharmacology, and Drug Metabolism and Disposition manuscripts freely accessible immediately upon acceptance for publication. The "Fast Forward" manuscript version remains freely accessible after the copyedited and formatted version goes online.
Please contact the ASPET Journals Department if you have questions about ASPET's deposit policies.
