Special Repositories for National Institutes of Health and Wellcome Trust funded articles
Certain repositories such as PubMed Central (PMC) are authorised under special
arrangement with Elsevier to process and post certain articles. The following
agreements have been established for authors whose articles have been accepted
for publication in Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C
and whose underlying research is supported by one of the following funding
bodies:
National Institutes of Health (NIH). Elsevier will send a version of
the author’s accepted manuscript that includes author revisions following
peer-review for public access posting 12 months after final publication.
Because the NIH ‘Public Access’ policy is voluntary, authors may elect not to
deposit such articles in PMC. If you wish to opt out and not deposit in PMC,
you may indicate this by sending an e-mail to NIHauthorrequest@elsevier.com.
The Wellcome Trust. Wellcome Trust funded authors publishing in
Elsevier journals can comply with the Wellcome Trust open access policy
by paying a subsidy fee to the journal. The Wellcome Trust will reimburse
authors who have paid the subsidy. The subsidy fee has initially been set at
$3,000 per article. Upon final publication, Elsevier will send to PMC the
Wellcome Trust Subsidised Manuscript (a version of the accepted manuscript
that reflects all author-agreed changes including those made post peer review)
and will authorize its public posting on PMC immediately. The Wellcome Trust
Subsidised Manuscript on PMC will also link directly to the final published
journal article, which will continue to reside only on Elsevier’s websites and
which Elsevier will make available to both non-subscribers and subscribers.
