New Video: A New NIHMS (and PACM API) to Support Public Access

New Video: A New NIHMS (and PACM API) to Support Public Access. NLM Tech Bull. 2019 May-Jun;(428):b10.

May 23, 2019 [posted]

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce plans to release a new NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system later this year. The 10-minute video A New NIHMS (and PACM API) to Support Public Access provides context for the decision to rebuild the NIHMS and helps prepare librarians for what changes to anticipate. The current NIHMS system has supported the NIH Public Access Policy since 2005 and has received more than 800,000 submissions. Today, NIHMS supports the policies of 10 additional government agencies as well as numerous non-governmental organizations. It is our hope that this new system will allow NLM to continue supporting public access to publicly-funded research results for decades to come.

The video also provides an update on a new feature in a related tool: API access to data from the Public Access Compliance Monitor (PACM) (see API Access to the Public Access Compliance Monitor for more information).
