UK PubMed Central now live
UK PubMed Central (UKPMC) is now live and freely available at
http://ukpmc.ac.uk
Based on PubMed Central (PMC) <http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/>
, the U.S. National Institutes of Health free digital archive of
biomedical and life sciences journal literature, UKPMC provides a
stable, permanent, and free-to-access online digital archive of
full-text, peer-reviewed research publications.
UKPMC is part of a network of PMC International (PMCI)
<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/about/pmci.html> repositories.
PMCI is a collaborative effort between the US National Library of
Medicine <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/> (NLM), the publishers whose
journal content makes up the PMC archive, and organizations in
other countries that share NLM's interest in archiving life
sciences literature.
The set-up, maintenance and ongoing development of UKPMC is being
funded by Arthritis Research Campaign, The Biotechnology and
Biological Sciences Research Council, The British Heart
Foundation, Cancer Research UK, The Chief Scientist Office of the
Scottish Executive Health Department, the Department of Health,
The Joint Information Systems Committee, the Medical Research
Council and the Wellcome Trust.
UKPMC is a service of the UKPMC Funders Group working in
partnership with the British Library, University of Manchester &
the European Bioinformatics Institute.
As of today the UKPMC database holds over 620,000 full-text
articles - mirrored from PMC in the US, whilst the UK Manuscript
Submission System [UKMSS] - which grantees can use when they need
to self-archive their research papers - contains details of 15000
grants awarded to over 8000 grantees.
