NIH Public Access Policy requires that our North American authors make all papers arising from research funded by the NIH publicly available in PubMed Central no later than 12 months after online publication in the journal.

As part of IOP Publishing’s commitment to ensure that publishing in our journals is as simple and easy as possible, and as a service to help our North American authors comply with this policy, we will now upload final, accepted manuscripts for NIH-funded papers to PubMed Central automatically, unless an author requests otherwise.

When submitting, please make sure that you correctly acknowledge any NIH funding, including the grant number, in the acknowledgments section of your paper (e.g. ‘this work was supported by NIH grant number R01 GM012345-01′).

We will automatically upload NIH-funded papers to PubMed Central unless you request otherwise.

The corresponding author will receive an email from PubMed Central asking them to approve the deposited manuscript.

Authors’ articles will be made publicly available no later than 12 months from the date of online publication, in accordance with the NIH policy.

Supplementary Data

IOP takes a non-exclusive licence in supplementary data which is published alongside articles on IOPscience. This means the copyright and any other ownership rights in supplementary data stays with the author, or any other relevant owner if not the authors (such as a university or research funder).

Unless otherwise stated, supplementary data is published under the same licence as the parent article. For Gold Open Access articles, this means you will be able to reuse supplementary data under the terms of the relevant open access licence applying to the article (in most cases, the CC BY 4.0 licence). For supplementary data of articles published on a subscription basis, you may need to seek the permission of the authors for your intended reuse.

IOP is a signatory to the STM Permissions Guidelines. The STM Permissions Guidelines are an agreement between STM Signatory Publishers allowing reuse of small numbers of figures and small amounts of text of one signatory publisher in a journal article or ebook, published by another STM Signatory Publisher, free of charge.

For more information on how the Guidelines apply and why this is useful for authors wishing to use figures or small amounts of text from other STM Signatory Publishers, please refer to this further information.
