PubMed Central and OnlineOpen

If authors are funded entirely or partially by an organization requiring deposit of an article into PubMed Central (including the NIH, HHMI, and the Wellcome Trust), Wiley will deposit the accepted version upon publication. Based on Wiley’s agreement with the NIH, PubMed Central will embargo articles for 12 months after publication; during this time, authors can list "PMC ID pending" in grants and reference lists.

With OnlineOpen the author, the author's funding agency, or the author's institution pays a fee to ensure that the article is made available to non-subscribers via open access, as well as deposited in the funding agency's preferred archive (such as PubMed Central). Authors of OnlineOpen articles are also permitted to post the final, published PDF of their article on a website, institutional repository, or other free public server, immediately on publication.
