What is the delay period?
The delay period is the interval between a manuscript’s final publication date and when the author-supplied version will appear publicly in PubMed Central. The delay period is determined and registered in the UKMSS system by the manuscript’s Principal Investigator. We strongly encourage authors to post for public accessibility as soon as possible (and within six months of the publisher’s official date of final publication). We expect that only in limited cases will authors deem it necessary to select the longest delay period.
