The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a notice clarifying the use of an NIHMSID to indicate compliance with the Public Access Policy.

An NIHMSID is intended to be a temporary substitute for a PMCID when an grantee needs to cite a paper so soon after its acceptance that the PubMed Central submission process cannot be completed. The NIH will not accept the NIHMSID more than 3 months after a paper is published.

For more information about the NIH Public Access Policy, please see our help pages.
