Non-Roman-alphabet works exempt from NIH Public Access Policy

According to the National Institutes of Health:

Until further notice, only papers written in Latin script will be collected via the NIH Manuscript Submission System for the NIH Public Access Policy. Acceptable papers also may contain characters and fonts used in standard mathematical notation. However, until further technical solutions are developed, papers written in scripts other than Latin (e.g., Russian, Japanese) cannot be processed by NIHMS and are not required to be posted on PubMed Central. Papers written in scripts other than Latin do not require a PMCID when cited in NIH applications, proposals or reports. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-009.html
