<p class="tbyearmonth">NLM Broadens PubMed Central Eligibility Requirements to Accept Applications from Spanish-Language Journals. NLM Tech Bull. 2023 Jan-Feb;(450):e7.</p>
<div class="articleactions">2023 February 22 <span class="status">[posted]</span>
</div>
<div class="articleParagraph">
<p>The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has expanded the eligibility requirements for <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/">PubMed Central (PMC)</a>, NLM's full-text digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature, to consider applications from non-MEDLINE journals published primarily in Spanish. Prior to this update, PMC's <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#lang">Language Guidelines</a> required that the full-text content of a non-MEDLINE journal be published largely in English to be eligible to apply to the archive. This policy update will broaden the PMC eligibility requirements to be more inclusive of non-English-language journals and increase the global representation in NLM's literature databases.</p>
<p>In building a collection that is more representative of the diversity of biomedical literature and engages a wider audience, this policy update aligns the PMC scope more closely with that of <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medline/medline_overview.html">MEDLINE</a> and the broader <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK518693/">NLM Collection</a>, and is consistent with one of NLM's Strategic Plan goals: "Reach more people in more ways through enhanced dissemination and engagement." PMC will continue to accept applications from journals in any language if they are currently indexed for MEDLINE.</p>
<p>Expansion of the PMC eligibility requirements to include Spanish-language journals will inform future efforts to support applications from non-MEDLINE journals in most major languages.</p>
<p><strong>Eligibility and Application Process</strong></p>
<p>As with English-language journals, Spanish-language journals must meet <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/addjournal/#apply">PMC's Pre-Application Requirements</a> and must be suitable for the NLM Collection (according to the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK518693/">Collection Development Guidelines of the NLM</a>). Additionally, while not a requirement, journals are strongly encouraged to publish English translations of article titles and abstracts to enhance discovery.</p>
<p>At this time, individual publishers will initially be limited to submitting one Spanish-language title at a time, and decision times are expected to exceed the standard timeframes. Publishers and journals interested in participating can send an email to <a href="mailto:pmcapplication@mail.nlm.nih.gov">pmcapplication@mail.nlm.nih.gov</a> for more information on how to apply.</p>
<p>Applications will be assessed according to PMC's standard <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/journalselect/">scientific and editorial quality considerations</a> and publishers are strongly encouraged to review PMC's rigorous <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#techqual">technical quality</a> expectations prior to applying. If a journal successfully passes all steps in the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/addjournal/#pubinfo-app-proc">evaluation and setup process</a>, the complete contents of each volume/issue (within the limits of the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#backcontent">Back Content policy</a>) will be accepted for deposit in PMC.</p>
<p><strong>Feedback or Questions</strong></p>
<p>NLM encourages you to send questions or comments to <a href="mailto:pmcapplication@mail.nlm.nih.gov">pmcapplication@mail.nlm.nih.gov</a>.</p>
