07 April 2008 Dana Celebrates National Public Health Week The Dana Medical Library celebrates National Public Health Week April 7-13, 2008 with an informational display in the Library. This year the American Public Health Association has chosen Climate Change: Our Health in the Balance as its National Public Health Week theme, noting: There is a direct connection between climate change and the health of our nation today. Yet few Americans are aware of the very real consequences of climate change on the health of our communities, our families and our children. To learn more about the relationship between climate change and public health, visit their web site at http://www.nphw.org/nphw08/default.htm. Of particular interest is the National Public Health Week blog at http://www.nphw.blogspot.com/. And don’t forget to check out Dana’s collection of book titles on public health and climate change, as well as new books from the Global Health Collection.

25 January 2008 NIH Mandates Open Access to Researchers' Publications
On December 26, 2007, President Bush signed an omnibus spending bill that included a provision requiring the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to mandate public access for NIH-funded research. The NIH Public Access Policy, Division G, Title II, Section 218 of PL 110-161 (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008), states:
The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law. The policy is effective for research accepted for publication after April 7, 2008. See NIH NOT-OD-08-033 for more details on the policy. The NIH has published instructions for researchers on how to comply with this policy. These instructions state that PubMed Central journals (e.g. American Journal of Public Health, Arthritis Research and Therapy) automatically deposit their peer-reviewed manuscripts in PubMed Central. What it doesn't make clear is that a few PubMed Central journals do require a separate deposit of an author manuscript. See the list of PubMed Central Journals for more information. NIH Tutorials are available for navigating the PubMed Central Submission System. Publishers routinely require authors to transfer the author's copyrights to the publisher. In order to deposit a manuscript in PubMed Central, and comply with the terms of an NIH grant, a researcher will need to retain the rights to do that. NIH offers this language for researchers to include as an addendum to the copyright transfer agreement with a publisher: Journal acknowledges that Author retains the right to provide a copy of the final manuscript to the NIH upon acceptance for Journal publication, for public archiving in PubMed Central as soon as possible but no later than 12 months after publication by Journal. For more information on author addenda see the SPARC Author Rights Initiative. If you would like to research copyright transfer agreements before submitting a paper to a specific journal, the Sherpa Romeo database summarizes permissions for most major scientific publishers. Please let us know if we can help you to comply with this new policy.
