NIH funded authors: Save time by publishing in JMIR

Since April 2008, legislation in the US requires NIH-funded authors to deposit their manuscripts in PubMed Central (PMC), unless they publish in one of the journals which are already depositing published articles in PMC (list here). Authors publishing in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) are exempt from the deposit requirement, because - since inception - JMIR is already depositing all published articles in PubMed Central. JMIR is only one of 2 journals in the health informatics / ehealth field where NIH authors can publish without going through the deposit process.
