Yes, this is why I'm confused why you'd dispute the PubMed annual budget by posting PMC budget.
PubMed is much bigger and more widely used (NIH data shows it), and it gives free access to lots of papers, gene databanks, and other public sources.
- mannerheim 6y agoYou claimed that PMC is a part of PubMed, but there's nothing that says so. Anyway, NIH-funded research is required to be published on PMC, not PubMed, so the cost of PMC is the one to be examined for the question of a mandatory open access policy. So all of what PubMed does is entirely irrelevant to this question, since PMC is where these have to be published to.
