Looking for a better way to manage your awards’ public access compliance status?
The Public Access Service provides researchers and administrators with time-sensitive approaches to compliance that compliment their work flow. From immediate review to long-term maintenance, our free services help you keep your publications and awards ready for the next progress report.
MyBib Check-up
Our Check-up service is a rapid review of your NCBI My Bibliography followed by assistance in submitting noncompliant publications to your funders’ public access repositories.
Custom Compliance Reports
Do you have an NSF, DOE, DoD or other non-NIH award? Our Custom Compliance Report service is a comprehensive review of your CV bibliography to determine your publications’ public access status.

Examples of the program in action.
Case Study 1: PI with an National Institutes of Health T32 (training) award and 11 trainees. Each month the PI’s grants manager receives an emailed update that reports on any noncompliant publications associated with the award. PAS staff add those publications to the PI’s My Bibliography, where they along with any noncompliant publications already on the My Bib are reviewed. Recommendations on how to bring these papers into compliance are included on the update. Accepted manuscripts added by trainees to the shared folder are submitted to the NIH’s PubMed Central repository and also placed on the PI’s My Bibliography, where they are monitored until fully compliant.
Case Study 2: PI with Department of Energy awards. The PI’s assistant submits publications to their shared folder as they become accepted. The accepted manuscripts are reviewed and submitted to the DOE’s PAGES public access repository. A submission receipt for each paper is added to the shared folder for compliance proof. The PI doesn’t want monthly updates, but asks that their awards receive annual literature searches to ensure that all publications associated with the awards are known.
Case Study 3: Center with a PD/PI and 16 researchers. Newly accepted papers from the PI and their researchers are added to the shared folder for immediate review and submission to PubMed Central. Publications associated with the center’s awards are added to the PI’s My Bibliography. Each month the center’s research administrator receives an update of any noncompliant publications related to the center’s awards. Six to eight weeks before staff submit the center’s primary award progress report they receive the results of a literature search highlighting any publications associated with the award not on the PI’s My Bibliography. The search includes a review of center researchers’ ancillary work.
