American Psychological Association Policy on NIH PubMed Central Deposits

The following policy statement from the American Psychological Association regarding deposit of NIH-funded authors’ manuscripts in PubMed Central was downloaded on March 31, 2008 from http://www.apa.org/journals/authors/pubmed-deposit.html . Basically, it says that the APA journals will deposit authors’ manuscripts (not the “published” version) on behalf of the authors, if the authors fill out and submit the form (attached). Included in this document are the APA web page describing their policy & procedure, the APA form required to have them submit on the authors\u27 behalf, a copy of their standard publication contract. Also included is information on how authors may deposit in the UNL Digital Commons before the 12-month embargo
