What is CPT's policy on NIH Open Access?
In compliance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Open Access Policy, ASCPT grants limited copyright release to authors who have received funding for research (on which the article is based) from the NIH to deposit the accepted paper into PubMed Central. It remains the legal responsibility of the author(s) to deposit the final, peer-reviewed paper, to be made publicly available no sooner than 12 months after the official date of publication.
