Launch of PubMed Central Canada

NRC-CISTI is working in partnership with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) to launch PubMed Central Canada this fall. The first piece of the PMC Canada system—the search interface—will be launched during Open Access Week (October 19-23). This interface will allow users to browse, search and download articles from the repository, as well as learn more about PMC Canada, how the repository works, and CIHR’s Policy on Access to Research Outputs.
