The American Psychological Association (APA), publisher of titles such as Journal of Abnormal Psychology and Psychological Bulletin, has developed a Wellcome-Trust compliant author-pays model. In return for paying an OA fee ($4000), APA will now deposit on behalf of the author, the final, published version directly into PubMed Central (PMC), where it will be mirrored to the UK PubMed Central (UKPMC).
Such papers will be licenced such that anyone may access, download, copy, display, and redistribute this article or manuscript as well as adapt, translate, or data and text mine the content contained in this document, as long as this is done for non-commercial purposes, and proper attribution is given.
Upon submission to an APA journal, Wellcome-funded authors will be asked to identify their manuscript as being Wellcome Trust funded. If the paper is accepted for publication, Wellcome funded authors will be required to complete a form to ensure that APA journals will deposit the manuscript in PMC.
