NIH requires PubMed Central ID#s on all proposals

New PMID-PMCID Converter available

As of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central ID number (PMCID) when citing a paper that falls under the NIH public access policy that is authored or co-authored by the investigator, or arose from the investigator’s NIH award.

You can get find individual PMCID numbers in PubMed but now the PMID-PMCID converter enables you to identify a bunch of PubMed ID numbers (PMID) and then automatically get their associated PMCID numbers all at once, as a batch process. Give it a try!
