PubMed Central (PMC) is one of the leading digital archives for biomedical and life science journal literature. The U.S. National Library of Medicine, with over eight million full-text records in the archive, maintains PMC.
For inclusion in PMC, all publications must meet a stringent set of scientific and editorial quality requirements. Similarly, publishers and platforms must also meet technical quality and infrastructure requirements.
As a result, this is another major step for Open Research Europe, following indexing in Scopus, ERIH Plus, Inspec, and others last year. It is also a major milestone for Horizon-funded biomedical and life science researchers.
Including Open Research Europe in PMC will significantly increase the credibility and visibility of the work published via the platform, helping researchers reach a greater audience and see a greater potential impact.
Over the coming months, all articles that pass peer review on Open Research Europe and those that have passed peer review historically will be included in PMC, and readers will be able to see Open Research Europe's information page in PMC within the month.
