The National Library of Medicine (NLM) announced yesterday that the first phase of the NIH Preprint Pilot, a project of NLM, has been successful in accelerating and expanding broad discovery of publicly funded research results on preprints relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. As you may remember, Phase 1 of the preprint pilot was launched to test the viability of making preprints resulting from NIH-funded research searchable in PubMed Central (PMC) and, by extension, discoverable in PubMed.
The success of the pilot in increasing the discoverability of preprints reporting on NIH-funded COVID-19 research has encouraged NLM to extend the pilot in early 2023 to preprints across the spectrum of NIH-funded research topics.
NLM will monitor progress with the Phase 2 pilot to determine by the end of 2023 whether the success with preprints for COVID-19 translates to the broader scope of NIH-funded research and merits ongoing efforts.
We look forward to continuing to work with you and other NLM stakeholders to expand the discovery of NIH-supported research.
