A presentation about UK PubMed Central, given at the Research Information Network / Repositories Support Project event in London, 29th May, 2009.
The presentation outlines the benefits of using the UKPMC service to the UK's biomedical and health research community, which include increasing visibility. It also provides an overview of some of the development activities being undertaken by the UKPMC development team.

Research in the open
How mandates work in practice
29th May, 2009
Paul Davey,
UK PubMed Central Engagement Manager, British Library
ukpmc.ac.uk 2 As a result of the mandates
A little background
Aim is to become the information resource of choice for the UK’s biomedical and health research community
Supported from biomedical and health research organisations and government bodies
£1.2 million development programme
ukpmc.ac.uk 3 As a result of the mandates
Common principles of our funders
Freely available
‘Make freely available research outputs arising from biomedical and health funded research….
Added to UK PubMed Central
…Electronic copies of any biomedical research papers accepted for publication made available in UK PubMed Central….
Freely copied and reused
…Authors and publishers, if an open access fee has been paid, to licence research papers such that they may be freely copied and re-used for purposes such as text and data mining, provided that such uses are fully attributed. This is also encouraged where no fee has been paid.’
ukpmc.ac.uk 4 As a result of the mandates
An example: Department of Health view
Research Government framework – clear government policy to provide free access to research being undertaken and its findings (following appropriate review)
Preservation of research outputs for current, and future, generations to access
Electronic copies of any research papers accepted for publication must be submitted to UK PubMed Central within six months of publication
Links to ALL funder’s open access policies can be found at ukpmc.ac.uk/funders
ukpmc.ac.uk 5 As a result of the mandates
A few facts and figures
Around 99.5% of papers submitted are taken care of by the publishers
Remaining 0.5% or so (final copy of the manuscript) are submitted by PIs, or colleagues
Compliance is steadily increasing, as funder’s policies kick in (these were by and large instigated with grants awarded from 2007)
1.6 million+ papers in UK PubMed Central
Downloads are increasing – from 42,646 in May 2008
to 366,030 in April 2009
ukpmc.ac.uk 6 As a result of the mandates
A growing archive of peer-reviewed research papers, accessible by everyone, anywhere, free.
Some core benefits
- Transparency and cutting down potential duplication– could even help advance scientific research
- Brings greater visibility to researchers and their work
Additional benefits
The articles enable us to work with researchers and funders Developing useful, exciting and innovative tools and services
So, as a result of the mandates, we have…

Tools / services: exploiting the literature
With the research articles the aim is to:
- Enable researchers to exploit the scientific literature, by linking to other relevant life sciences databases…reached through EBI’s CiteXplore (www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore)
To ensure relevance, we could work from top level assumption that biomedical and health research scientists are broadly interested in three areas:
Chemistry
Medicine
Biology

Cell type
Drug dosage
Chemicals
Method
Protein / Gene
Chemical part: methods section
ukpmc.ac.uk 9 As a result of the mandates
Biological part: drugs acting on proteins
Drug (cause)
Protein / Gene
ukpmc.ac.uk 10 As a result of the mandates
Drug (cause)
Cell type
Disease type
Medical part: growth of prostate cancer cells
ukpmc.ac.uk 11 As a result of the mandates
Tools / services: Identifying and adding content
Identifying and providing access to a wide-range of additional, valuable content, such as clinical guidelines, theses and single issue research reports
- E.g. we are ingesting National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines
ukpmc.ac.uk 12 As a result of the mandates
Tools / services: Grant Lookup
ukpmc.ac.uk 13 As a result of the mandates
Tools / services: Grant reporting and other features
ukpmc.ac.uk 14 As a result of the mandates
Grant reporting – My UKPMC
ukpmc.ac.uk 15 As a result of the mandates
My UKPMC: Specific features for users
ukpmc.ac.uk 16 As a result of the mandates
New, intuitive, user tested interface
ukpmc.ac.uk 17 As a result of the mandates
In summary
We have the backing of key funders in the UK
Our developments will enable researchers to become more efficient and effective
Researcher’s visibility will increase, whilst cutting down on duplication
Developing a resource with a UK identity and the needs of our community in mind, whilst building upon the world-wide recognition of PubMed Central in the United States
Beta site: October 2009 Anticipated launch of new website: January 2010
