Highlights
The project, is not limited to historical, archival content
Publishers who wish to host a copy of the backfile archive on their own sites can do so, and they are free to re-package this content in any way
Trust grantees are required to deposit in PubMed Central (PMC) electronic copies of any research papers that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and are supported in whole or in part by Wellcome Trust funding
Summary
The success of this project is highly dependent upon the support from publishers. Without their content, there is no archive. Publishers who agree to participate in this project allow their archives to be digitized (and be made freely available) and agree to deposit all future issues in PMC. Current content can be embargoed for an agreed time. Research papers must be made freely available, through PMC, within 12 months of publication, whilst all other content must be freely accessible within 36 months. Publishers who wish to host a copy of the backfile archive on their own sites (in addition to it being made available in PMC) can do so, and they are free to re-package (and sell if they so choose) this content in any way
