You&#8217;ll also find updates on the NIH Public Access Policy, including this data from the July 11 meeting of the NIH Public Access Working Group of the NLM Board of Regents:<\/p>\n<p>(1) How long were the requested embargoes?  Of the articles in the pipeline as of July 11, most (68.3%) authors requested immediate public access.  7.9% requested six month embargoes, and 14.3% requested 12 month embargoes.<\/p>\n<p>(2) How long did it take for grantees to complete the submission process?  The largest plurality (48%) completed it in just three minutes.  The second largest plurality (19%) completed it in 10 minutes.  A total of 84% completed it in 10 minutes or less.  Only 8% took longer than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>(3) How long are grantees waiting after publication before submitting their work to PMC?  28% submit to PMC in less than six months, 11% wait from 7 to 12 months, and 21% wait more than a year.  (40% of NIH grants have not yet resulted in publication.)<\/p>\n<p>(4) How many submissions should PMC expect if there were 100% compliance?  On average over the past two years (May 2003 &#8211; March 2005) NIH grants have resulted in 5,500 publications per month or 250 per workday.  The current compliance rate (340 submissions in two months) is just 3% of that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest SPARC Open Access Newsletter, Peter Suber reports that 340 papers have been submitted to PubMed Central by NIH-funded researchers.
