The Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry deposits all of its published articles into the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) PubMed Central (PMC) for public release twelve months after publication. Within four weeks of publication, the JHC deposits the final copyedited version of accepted manuscripts into PMC. The deposit is automatic and removes the burden from authors of submitting their manuscript to PMC.

These deposits fulfill the request of the NIH and expand on it by submitting all of our content and not just NIH funded articles. Extending the submission to include non-funded NIH content insures that JHC content is available in the two largest portals of free scientific content, HighWire Press and PMC.
