Oxford, 13th August 2008

As part of our author services program, Taylor & Francis will 
deposit to PubMed Central (PMC) author manuscripts on behalf of 
Taylor & Francis, Routledge and Psychology Press authors 
reporting NIH funded research. This service is offered as part of 
Taylor & Francis' new 2008 deposit agreement with the NIH.

This service will help authors to comply with the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) revised 'Public Access Policy', which 
came into force on April 7, 2008.  The NIH's revised policy 
mandates NIH-funded authors to submit to PubMed Central (PMC), or 
have submitted on their behalf, at the point of acceptance, their 
peer-reviewed author manuscripts, to appear on PMC no later than 
12 months after final publication.

Taylor & Francis will deliver to PMC the final peer-reviewed 
manuscript, which was accepted for publication and that reflects 
any author-agreed changes made in response to the peer review. 
Taylor & Francis will also authorize the author manuscript's 
public access posting 12 months after final publication in print 
or electronic form (whichever is the sooner). Following the 
deposit by Taylor & Francis, authors will receive further 
communications from the NIH with respect to the submission.

Under our Author Rights policy introduced in 2005, authors also 
have the right to post their version of the submitted author 
manuscript (pre-print), or their version of the final published 
article (post-print) on their personal or institutional web site. 
Post-print web postings are subject to an embargo of 12 months in 
STM subjects and the behavioral sciences. Please note that, in 
line with Taylor & Francis' author publication agreements, 
authors should not post manuscripts directly to PMC or other 
third party sites for any systematic external distribution by a 
third party (for example to a listserv or database connected to a 
public access server).  Individual modifications to this general 
policy may apply to some Taylor & Francis, Routledge and 
Psychology Press journals and society publishing partners.
