Tips to Remember:
Review journal and publisher policies and your publisher agreements. Some publishers charge extra fees for zero-embargo deposits or do not allow for zero embargoes. Use the Open Policy Finder to see what your journal allows concerning embargoes. Consider submitting to journals that allow for zero-embargo deposit.
The FSU Office of Research has resources to assist FSU researchers with NIH compliance. For those with active NIH grants who do not have sufficient funds in their awards to support compliance with public access publishing, the Office of Research will consider requests to help cover the gap.

A journal or publisher may also deposit select articles in PMC if special arrangements are made to allow for immediate release. A list of publishers that provide this service is available from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/about/selectivedeposit/
