The article will then be archived in PubMed Central. For more information about this policy and the steps that authors must take to comply with the policy, please go to the National Institutes of Health Public Access page.
Are you not sure where to submit your manuscript? JANE (Journal/Author Name Estimator) can help! Enter the title and/or the abstract of your manuscript and select to 'Find Journals.' JANE will compare your title and/or abstract to the millions of entries in Medline and create a list of journals that have published articles that are the most similar to your key topics. Journals are ranked by a confidence score; the higher the confidence score the more alike your manuscript is to the articles published in that journal.
Note: The abstracts that are submitted to JANE for evaluation are not stored, but if you are worried about the security of the connection, you can choose to scramble the abstract.
