Journal

A Journal is associated with a Publication. In some cases, the Journal may be important for determining whether the User needs to manually create a Submission through PASS or whether the publisher has a pre-existing arrangement with the target Repository. Specifically, in the case of the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy, many Journals already make arrangements to submit the author's accepted manuscript to PubMed Central directly.
