Sinclair, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting/“Public Access Policy”. Elsevier facilitates author posting in connection with the voluntary posting request of the NIH (referred to as the NIH “Public A ccess Policy”, see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/) by submitting EDITOR EMERITUS the peer-reviewed author’s manuscript directly to PubMed Central on request from the author, immediately after final publication. Please e-mail us at [email protected] that your work has received NIH funding (with the NIH grant/project number(s), as David Harvey, London, UK well as name and e-mail address of the Principal Investigator(s)) and that you intend to respond to the NIH request. Upon such confir- mation, Elsevier will submit to PubMed Central on your behalf a version of your manuscript that will include peer-review comments, for public access posting 12 months after the final publication date. This will ensure that you will have responded fully to the NIH request policy. There will be no need for you to post your manuscript directly to PubMed Central, and any such posting is prohibited (although Elsevier will not request that manuscripts authored and posted by US government employees should be taken down from PubMed Central). Individual modifications to this general policy may apply to some Elsevier journals and its society publishing partners. Printed by Polestar Wheatons, Exeter, United Kingdom.
