Europe PubMed Central (Europe PMC) is an open-access repository that contains millions of biomedical research works. It was known as UK PubMed Central until 1 November 2012.[2]

Service

Europe PMC provides free access to more than 9.3 million full-text biomedical and life sciences research articles and over 43.3 million citations.[3] Europe PMC contains some citation information and includes text mining based marked up text that links to external molecular and medical datasets.[1][4] The Europe PMC funders group requires that articles describing the results of biomedical and life sciences research they have supported be made freely available in Europe PMC within 6 months of publication to maximise the impact of the work that they fund.[5]

The Grant Lookup facility allows users to search for information in a wide variety of different ways on over 101,900 grants awarded by the Europe PMC funders.[6][7]

Most content is mirrored from PubMed Central, which manages the deposit of entire books and journals.[8] Additionally, Europe PMC offers a manuscript submission system, Europe PMC plus,[9] which allows scientists to self-deposit their peer-reviewed research articles for inclusion in the Europe PMC collection.[10]

Organisation

The Europe PMC project was originally launched in 2007 as the first 'mirror' site to PMC, which aims to provide international preservation of the open and free-access biomedical and life sciences literature. It forms part of a network of PMC International[11] (PMCI) repositories that includes PubMed Central Canada. Europe PMC is not an exact "mirror" of the PMC database but has developed some different features.[1][4] On 15 February 2013 CiteXplore was subsumed under Europe PubMed Central.[12]

The resource is managed and developed by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), on behalf of an alliance of 27 biomedical and life sciences research funders, led by the Wellcome Trust.[5]

Europe PMC is supported by 27 organisations:
