PubMed search tool for PMCIDs

Researchers subject to the NIH Public Access Policy take note: there is a new way to discover PMCIDs for articles you need to cite in grant proposals.

PubMed has added a two-way conversion tool between PubMed IDs (PMIDs) and PubMed Central IDs (PMCIDs). It accepts any number of identifiers, to make batch-processing possible.

Remember that citing the PMCID, not the PMID, demonstrates compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy.
