Article sharing
PubMed and PubMed Central
PubMed and PubMed Central are databases hosted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). PubMed contains citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. PubMed Central (PMC) is a free full-text archive (repository) of biomedical and life sciences journal articles.
Delivery
Upon publication in the CDSR, Wiley delivers information on the following article types to PubMed for citation indexing: protocols, reviews, updates, editorials, and articles amended with a new citation.
Simultaneously, Wiley delivers the same article types to PubMed Central, to be made available in the free full-text PMC archive either immediately (i.e. within 48 hours of receipt), or after an embargo period of 12 months:
- Protocols and editorials (any licence type): Available immediately
- Reviews, updates, and amendments with a new citation:
- Gold OA licence: Available immediately
- Green OA licence: Available after 12 months
Note that publishing an amendment with a new citation on Green OA reviews or updates will initiate a new 12-month embargo period. In rare circumstances when an amendment with new citation is needed, but the embargo period should not be extended – for example, if an error is found in an author's name, which would necessitate a new citation but should not penalize the authors with a restart of the 12-month embargo period – Wiley can submit a support ticket to PubMed Central to request an adjustment.

Authors may also deliver their articles to PubMed Central manually; see the editorial policy for applicable details.
