Librarians provide advice and support to Center authors throughout the publishing life cycle:

Journal Articles

Before your paper is accepted by a publisher:

• Protect your rights before signing a publishing agreement.
• Learn more about the journal's NIH Public Access Policy and institutional repository deposits.

After your paper has been accepted by a journal or was published:

• Find out if the publisher will deposit your final peer-reviewed manuscript or published article into PubMed Central. See the list of journals that automatically submit articles to PMC, with no need for the author to later review in NIHMS.
• If not, send us your paper, and let the Library submit your final peer-reviewed manuscript to PubMed Central for you or, if you prefer, submit your final peer-reviewed manuscript to PubMed Central on your own.
• Learn more about the journal's open access policy and your rights to deposit in an institutional repository.

When you want to share your work with colleagues:

• Get a paper's open access and/or PubMed Central URL
• Get a paper's PMCID or NIHMS ID number to cite in an NIH grant proposal, progress report, etc.
• Let the library make your papers and other scholarly works accessible to more researchers via our institutional repository and PubMed Central.
• Decode the reuse rights and permissions you hold on your papers - Librarians can help!

Identification Numbers for Books, Articles and other Scholarly Works

The library can help you understand the different identification numbers that may be related to your work!

• Digital Object Identifier (doi)
• International Standard Book Number (ISBN)
• International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)

Need one assigned? Contact the library at x4314 or authors@fredhutch.org .  The library serves as Fred Hutchinson's publisher, and as such we can assign doi numbers and ISBNs to your works.
