On June 26, 2018, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/">PubMed Central</a> (PMC) released expanded information about its <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/journalselect">selection process for journals</a> that apply for participation. The current review process has been in place since November 2014 and focuses on the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#standards">scientific rigor and editorial quality standards</a> of each journal that applies to <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/addjournal/">participate in PMC</a>.
</p>
<p>Some of the attributes taken into account as part of this process include the article content, journal policies, language quality, and presentation of content. The
same assessment considerations are used for <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#standards">reevaluation</a> of currently participating journals. We encourage you to visit the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/journalselect/">Journal Selection for PMC page</a> to learn more.

These policies provide the eligibility criteria for each type of participation agreement and should be considered alongside the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/addjournal/#apply">pre-application requirements</a>.
